In order to develop a good analytical paragraph for each of my images I have decided to look into image analysis, debating what factors to consider. I believe this may open my eyes to factors in which I have not previously discovered.
- Context-The context includes any background information that will help you understand and analyze an image
- Purpose-Purpose refers to the overall goal for creating an image. With advertisements, that goal is fairly easy to understand.
- Tone-In literature, tone refers to the author’s attitude toward the subject. So, with regard to images, tone can also refer to the photographer/artist’s/designer’s perspective on the issue.
- Arrangement-Arrangement refers to the placement of images, graphics, and text in an image. There are two key elements of arrangement—location and scale. Location refers to where a text or image is placed, whereas scale refers to the relative size of the visual components.
- Location-Typically, our eyes scan an image, text, and/or webpage from left to right and from top to bottom.
- Text-Text is another important element to analyze, assuming an image includes text. If it does, the text is obviously there for a purpose.
- Colour-Color choices can really affect your audience, too. Colors can have different meanings (connotations) that implicitly portray a message. Colors can also enhance or detract from an image’s readability depending on the level of contrast used.
- Readability-You also should think about practical concerns with color, such as whether or not the text color is contrasted well enough with the background so that it is readable.
