How Does This Image Fit With The Others In Your Collection (if at all)? Random

Trace:
T(Text): This is a picture of Adolf Hitler leading his men doing the Nazi Salute. I found this image on
google in a biography on him in the Jewish Virtual Library. This image shows how powerful Hitler was
when he was ruling Germany because while all of his men were marching by him he is the highest person
in the picture, no one stands taller than him in the picture. I feel like the fact that he is the highest person
in the picture really demonstrates how powerful he was.
R(Reader): The intended audience of this image is anyone who reads the biography that the Jewish
Virtual library has provided.
A(Author): The person that took this picture is unknown but it is a very famous image and has been
used thousands of times.
C(Constraints): The constraints of this image is that it doesnt really show how violent he was as a ruler
of Germany or what
E(Exigence): I feel like this really shows how powerful Hitler was because like I said in test he is the
highest so I think it argues how high in stature Hitler was.

TRACE
T(Text): This image is frame from the Harry Potter Films where Lilly Potter sacrifices herself to Lord Voldemort in
order to save her son Harry. I think the intended reason for this picture is to show how much a mothers love really means
and how powerful that bond is.
R(Reader): The intended reader or viewer of this still frame is anyone who watches the Harry Potter films or reads
the Harry Potter books. I feel like the people who read the Harry Potter books and watch the movies are primarily kids using
the novels to grow up with (like me) and parents and teachers who have kids that are interested in the books
A(Author): The author of the Harry Potter books who really came up with concept of this scene is J.K. Rowling. The
director of the Harry Potter movies is Chris Columbus and the cinematography was done by John Seale.
C(Constraints): The constraints of this snap in the Harry Potter movie is that if you have never seen the movie you
dont really know whats happening or why Lilly is screaming while holding her baby or what she is about to do which is
sacrifice herself in order to save her son.
E(Exigence):I feel like there wasnt really an argument made by this still frame.

Image Title: Lion

Original Genre: Photograph

Revised Genre: Graphic

Description of New Genre/New Piece: The new piece is a bunch of words describing lions and
words related to lions in the shape of Africa.

Explanation of New Genre Choice/New Piece: I wanted to put a bunch of words about lions and
put it in the shape of the lion graphic that Broadway has for the lion kingbut I couldnt do that so I
went with the next best option and chose to do it in the shape of Africa because that is where the
Lion King takes place.

Explanation of How New Genre/Piece Differs from Original: The new picture is just a bunch of
words in the shape of Africa and it is no longer a photograph of a lion.

Message Changes? Yes or No? How so?: No because you can still get the idea that the lion is the
most powerful animal because he is so ferocious and king of the jungle.

Image Title: Knowledge

Original Genre: Diagram/Chart

Revised Genre: Graphic

Description of New Genre/New Piece: The new piece is a hand with a bunch of words that either a
left brain person or a right brain person could indentify with.

Explanation of New Genre Choice/New Piece: I felt like it would be cool to throw together a bunch
a words that a left brain person would use and be familiar with along with a bunch of words that a
right brain person would be familiar with. And then I put all the words in the formation of a hand
because typically a left brain person is right handed and a right brained person is left handed so I
thought it would be cool to put all of the words together in a hand

Explanation of How New Genre/Piece Differs from Original: The new picture is just a bunch of
words and they are not centered around a brain and there is no color.

Message Changes? Yes or No? How so?: No because you can still tell which terms are left brained
and which terms are right brained and tell how left brained people differ from right brained people.
I feel like the two different kinds of words still show that knowledge is power.

Image Title: Theodore Roosevelt

Original Genre: Photograph

Revised Genre: Graphic

Description of New Genre/New Piece: The new piece is the united states with words that came
from a biography on Theodore Roosevelt.

Explanation of New Genre Choice/New Piece: When I was making my other two genre morphs I
was scrolling through the layout options that the website gave and I saw America and thought it
would be really cool to do one of the word blobs in the shape of America with words about
Theodore Roosevelt, one of our presidents.

Explanation of How New Genre/Piece Differs from Original: The new picture is a bunch of words
from a biography on Roosevelt in the shape of America when the original was a picture of Roosevelt
in front of an American flag.

Message Changes? Yes or No? How so?: No because the words still show that Roosevelt was a
very powerful and influential president.
