Visual vs Symbolic Language WK 4

      • Human silhouettes
      • Dim colors (sepia) supporting dark mood
      • Waiting
      • Collage
      • Depression
      • English terms

      This unemployment image from Google contains two newspaper clippings from the employment listings section. The newspaper clippings are under a sepia color effect. On top of the news paper clippings are transparent silhouette of people of both genders and varying height, in a repeated pattern. These silhouettes are lined up from left to right. The news paper clippings are a representation of limited job opportunities being offered while the silhouette of people waiting in line represent those who are waiting in line to compete for the same opportunities, regardless of their gender or ethnicity. Above the silhouettes is the word “unemployment” in English lettering to make sure the viewer understands what this image is conveying.
