text and image

 

Take or choose a photograph or image that is not copyright protected. Write a short reflection about its meaning to you and what you know about it. If it is not your photo, do a little bit of research about it. Support your claims by describing the composition, style, and design of the image, and its conditions of production and historical context, if you know them, as well as where you found the photograph and what is has been used for, specifying what can be known from the photograph itself and what you learned from sources external to it. Do not simply state the content. (For example: “this is a color digital photograph of my uncle at his wedding eating cake on April 6 2013” is not sufficient.)

Part 2: Making meaning through text and image relationships

Make four copies of your image, using the same scale, layout, and framing on each one.

Write four text captions for the image. Try not to make them too obvious. (This is my uncle eating cake at his wedding in 2012 is an example of ‘too obvious.’) On separate pages, combine each of the four copies of the image with a caption. Place each caption in the same relationship to the image, using the same typeface design and size. The layouts should be identical.

Write a reflection about each of the four image and text combinations. Describe how the meaning of the image changes with each different caption.

Part 3: Text as graphic element

Choose one image-text pair from the series you created in Part 2. Re-print your text in different sizes and fonts. Design four different pages so that the meaning and impact of the same text-image pair changes four different ways. You may change the size and placement of your image as well as the size and placement of the typeface. You may print type on top of the image. You may change the layout. Do not alter the image in color or internal composition in any way, however.

Write a reflection about the process of designing your compositions. What did you learn about the relationship of text design, layout of the page, and other formal aspectswith respect to the meaning of the text-image relationship?

Part 4: Viewers make meaning
Find a friend who is willing to go through your series in Parts 2 and 3 and write you an interpretive response. Ask your friend to interpret each one, in the order they appear in your assignment. Do not attempt to explain or influence your friend’s interpretations. For example, do not tell them ‘I used a photograph of my uncle eating cake at his wedding.” Do not tell them what you intended each image-text relationship to mean, and do not give them a title or other information. Let your image-text compositions speak for themselves, so we can see what they mean to someone who did not know about your process or your interpretations.

Finally, write a reflection about your friend’s responses compared to your own interpretations of the meanings of your compositions.
