The following images are examples of different forms of user-generated content. One is a piece of artwork, the other is a photograph of a banner, and the last image is a digital image that was created utilizing online sources.
When you look at this image, what do you see? Think about the differences between literal meaning and hidden meaning. What do you understand about this image? Do you recognize the charaters in the image? Do you recognize the setting represented in the image? How does this image represent what is produced, consumed and accepted (or rejected) by your culture?
What do you see in this image? How is this an example of user-generated content? How is it vastly different from the user-generated content produced on Youtube or on Facebook? Are there any literal and hidden meanings? If so, what are they? What sort of background information does one need to possess in order to read and understand the image (and message) of this banner?
This is an image that appeared this weekend on my Facebook feed. Many of my friends were sharing it. A classic form of user-generated content, its producer is unknown yet this image/message/content has spread throughout the internet. What are the literal meanings in this image? What sort of statement is this message trying to convey? What are the specific steps that the producer is making to convey the message in this image?
