the Abiltity to construct meaning from visual images and type, Example 5


M-A-D Design "Fuelicide"
This image portrays the social and political issues of the current world, fuel and the loss of humanity to over-consumption. The design is powerful and emotional but by taking a internationally recognised symbol of man and petrol and combining the two M-A-D have removed the humanity from the image the only hint of life is the red image of a girl struggling to help the man. It is striking and emotional but at the same time isnt shocking so is comfortable to look at so the message is successfully communicated without putting the viewer off with extreme visuals of suicide.
