Reading Visual Texts: A Bullet for your Arsenal by: Susana Rodriguez

This article is about advertisements/pictures haveing a thousand meanings. An example Susanna uses is  the i-pod ad banners, how you can picture yourself in the silouettes which make you want to get one. But can also be looked at as being offensive, because the silouettes are all lean, hip people. Depending on your state of mind, you can look at pictures/advertisments in so many ways, negative or positive. Susanna also talks about a picture with family in front of disney world with everyone is smiling and looks to be enjoying their time there. Little would the viewers know that they were having a bad day, and those where just smiles for the camera.
