Select a two-dimensional image to analyze that is either a work of art (photograph, illustration, or painting) or an advertisement.

• What is the FTC analysis? Use the FTC palette to break down the image into form, theme, and context. The analysis should include answers to the following:
  • How are the principles of design used? Perspective and foreshortening? Color? Imagery? Don't just identify the principles, but tell us how they convey meaning. Why did the artist use a particular principle in a particular way?
  • What do you believe is the theme of the image? Why?
  • Who produced the image?
  • Who do think is the intended audience, and why? Describe the audience in terms of culture, demographics (who they are), and psychographics (how they feel).
• Overall, think the creator succeeded in conveying the intended message to the target audience? Why or why not? What changes could the artist have made to convey this message more effectively?
