1. In this image Barry is defining what an image is. She mentions that the center of everything we call “The Arts” or what children call “Play” has something that seems alive. Not exactly in the way humans are alive, but alive in its own way. Barry mentions that images are alive in the same way as the ocean. In this page in particular page (p.14) Barry used drawings of animals that were both alive and dead. She used drawings of birds, an octopus, and a cat all demonstrating different emotions and actions, giving life to her characters. I had never thought about images in this way but it has given me creative inspiration to make my images come to life. A successful image makes the viewer feel movement, life, and energy. In my future designs I will make sure to incorporate these elements so the viewer feels life within my images.

2. Barry created the pages in this book to give life and meaning to her statements. On this page (p.14) she used images to support her ideas of what an image is made of. I believe if that her statements were written on normal black and white text, you would not get nearly the same amount of content that is available. Each page is unique and shows how each question is answered or not answered. Every image and text guides you on a road to understanding what she is trying to get you to understand. The way Barry oriented the text and images were also interesting. It sometimes was hard to follow what to read next, but all the content of the page came together in a vivid image at the end of the read. The media, or channel of communication Barry used was through abstract images and texts. Fragments of documents and speeches were scattered throughout the page and helped you understand a deeper meaning of her quotes. The images gave insight to what she was feeling, and the view should comprehend the information.
