Week 3 - Blog 3 Picasso Swagger

Pictures on newspaper articles, paintings, ads, or really any image has a denotation that we can all see or tell by simply looking at it. However, the connotation can change drastically depending on the viewer or a caption.

For example, you might think that Picasso on the left is posing for a picture, but another person could think he has a headache.  The picture on the right is the result of a tsunami, but without the captions, someone could think it is because of Godzilla or many other causes of destruction.  Using techniques such as taking pictures and wording the caption a certain way can change  the way people think or feel about a certain topic. It even help persuade someone to believing something that isn't true.
