Representation
This photo represents one of the fundamentals of Graphic Design. Through Graphic Design, we are able to digital manipulate images in order to send a message to our viewers. Here, we see that a guy is erasing himself with the Erase Tool. The impact it has its deep and mysterious as it gives off a sense of invincibility or loneliness. It relates to Abstract because its not giving away too much, but individuals are free to interpret the photos through how they see it. It may or may not have a deep message to it but it does have a unique style of showing how to deal with emotions. Therefore, it is abstract because its impossible to erase yourself through a Photoshop Tool or any kind of matter.This photo also relates to Symbolism through various ways. It can be a symbol of hiding, disappearance, alone, re-new and ending. All 3 Levels are shown in this example through a creative and unbelievable way.
