Week 02 Discussion – Sensation and Perception

Search the Internet for an image from a used as part of an advertisement or published with a written work. Post a link to that image. Provide a brief analysis that looks at both the concepts of visual sensation and visual perception of the image. In what ways did the designer make use of Gestalt theories, constructivism, semiotics, and/or cognitive approaches to help the viewer derive meaning from the visual?  In your response post, look at the image posted by another student. Think about your initial reaction to the image. Then read their analysis. How does your interpretation of the image change?
