Superman saves the day

Hello I'm back and here to talk about how the way we perceive images effect us. The image above is  a typical day for superman saving a damsel in distress as some of us may see it. This particular image is focusing on the two people the damsel and superman the center of the image as Molly bang would state in her book "picture this" its the center of attention. This image many won't focus on the good deed but on the physical appearances and the fact superman "always gets the girls" and why many think that because of the way he looks a muscle builder body SERIOUSLY that is not the image we want our children to perceive but as to be great people, But what this and many others superheroes portrait to children is no longer the morality behind their deed and the selflessness but just looks.

Back to picture the colors on this image suggest that they are safe away from the danger he pulled her from, daylight, light colors and are now set in a romanic tone looking into each others eyes with others looking at their happiness. We also feel the sense of motion in the diagonal form their bodies  are deceasing into the ground? But also the upper half of the picture gives hope triumph and more happiness Molly Bang also states " The upper half of a picture is a place of freedom, happiness, and triumph; Objects placed in the top half often feel more spiritual." This picture is a great example of what she meant since we do get the sense of  triumph int he upper half of the picture. There is also unity within this picture both the damsel and superman are overlapping which joins them into a single unit.

This picture is a perfect example for what we have talked about in past blogs the way superhero bodies make us feel on how the image is used and portrayed. First of all the most important part of the image is just simply superman his body once again like Molly Bang stated the center is the center of attention and what most of us if not all focus on. He got the girl saved the day and wow has a magnificent body and we just sit and look at ourselves when am I ever going to be like him. Well in reality pretty much most of us won't achieve such thing.
