Chapter 1 image responses

The main reason I chose this image from Chapter One is because it is hand rendered and includes illustration. The C taking on the form of a mouth allows the word to be seen as an image in a whole, not just letters. It conveys the message of racism, which is vicious and tearing and messy, with the expressive lines and smears.

I choose this second image of the MTV logo because it is something we all recognize right off the bat. The combination of the M and TV is something we're so used to seeing together that we even blend it into one word "MTV" not "M...TV." I like that even though this particular logo is so 80's looking, it is still used, but slightly modified. The combination of the blocky M and bubbly TV makes it identifiable and have a personality.


















This third image of "All That Jazz" reminds me of the musical "Chicago." It looks like the letters are written in lights that one would see on a Broadway sign, which goes along with the premise of the show. I also like that the letters show movement and sort of go along with the sound of the words in the song, in which "all" is held, "that" is staccato, and "jazz" trails off at the end.
