Representational
This advertisement uses vegetables to represent the body's organs in order to communicate to the viewer that vegetables are essentially all the human body needs to sustain itself. Clever use of color and shape, the cauliflower represents the lungs, the tomato as the heart, the ginger as the intestines, etc. The representation of the vegetables as internal organs produces a double meaning as it operates to communicate the health factor and the necessity to the body.
Abstraction
This abstract image is a compilation of various components of China's industrialization, featuring buildings and traffic signs. Utilizing a heavy diagonal throughout the image, the various buildings and signs are suspended and artfully placed and rearranged such that the abstraction is rather evident. Decorated with intentional blemishes, the image communicates to the viewer the destructive nature of China's industrialization, albeit illustrating the beauty and creativity of such destruction. Individually, each component is dirty and unappealing, but combined in such a manner, the pieces are beautifully gathered in this composition.
Symbolism
This poster for the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind features what appears to be a section ripped out of a publication. This ripped area symbolizes the erasure or discontinuation of a relationship. The cutting of ties with the woman featured in the poster is symbolized in the ripping, and this is evident to the demographic of the audience who have seen this movie. With the prior knowledge of important themes of the movie, the viewer would understand the significance of what exactly the text and ripping symbolize, which is the idea of erasing a person from one's memory.
