Top-Down Visual Processing

To look further more into the concept of top down visual processing I chose this photo of the AVENGERS. The avengers is an elite team of super heroes known from the marvel comic books. In the image you see the avengers as a whole, fighting against evil forces. Each image of the heroes within the image shows features of who each avenger is. Top left you see a big green man that everyone will know is the hulk. If you look at the bottom right you will see the Almighty Thor. If your familiar with the comic book, his weapon of choice is the Hammer. So basically your mind is familiarizing what is being scene by seeing the big picture then annotates the image of what is within the image.

Representation, Symbolism, Abstraction

Representation

This image displays that this is a  fruit bat. The wing span allows the views to recognize that this is a flying animal that lives i the wild. The background in the image classifies that this is a night shot which means that the fruit bat is a nocturnal animal. The fact that the bat is eating a bright red fruit and not blood tells the viewers that this is a fruit bat. It wouldn't be a bird because the animal does not have feathers or any features of a bird. They have been known to be rats with wings.

Symbolism

It is a simple design with imagery of an arrow duplicated three times and rotated in 3 different ways to give the viewers the motion of coming full circle. The color green is used to symbolize the go green movement. The image is a international symbol to recycle. To use waste or trash to recreate another product out of them. It is  a simplistic design because of how from top to bottom the design is being created from the image of the arrow to the placement in the center of the page and the use of colors being a last minute detail of letting the view know that the image is being directed to being eco friendly recycling. 

Abstract

This is an abstract design of an earring. This does not replicate the average hoop, or diamond stud that you would normally see when people wear earrings. The feature of the unique design makes the product an earring. It creates the image of a snake wrapping around the ear through the earlobe which makes the user or viewers realize that it is an accessory to be worn. The form of the earring and the material that the snake earring is made of makes the design attractive and is functional and creates the imagery of an earring.
