This album shows through the cover that they travel everywhere playing their tunes even though out the nights.

Metallica - Master of Puppets by ~CUBASMETAL

This cover provides an insight to the album by not only leading to one of their songs, “Master of Puppets” but gives you a visual image of what the album consists of.

This album gives an insight to what is not only in their album but their whole sound in a whole.

This album shows in the picture itself the vast movement so the title hear and now pertains greatly to it. The title and picture give and insight to the album

A high contrast, is a High Impact photograph that removes all middle tones, and only leaves the darkest masses and brightest highlights. In photography, it can only be manipulated using either in dark places or methods by hand. Gives the same feeling of watching a silent german expressionism movie, designed to be more dramatic

This photo shows the dark figures and bright backgrounds some high contrast photos contain. But not all high contrast photos have to be this way. Mostly just the brighter onjects are enhanced from the contrast while the darker objects white levels are taken away.

by Rupert Vandervell from behance.net

This is an example of high contrast. Dark background to high light the man in the picture walking.

Another example of high-contrast, there is no median here. Just the brightest and darkest of colors.

Impact- Pyschedelia

Team Impact

Psychedelic art is any kind of visual artwork inspired by psychedelic experiences induced by drugs such as LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin. The word "psychedelic" (coined by British psychologist Humphry Osmond) means "mind manifesting". By that definition all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may be considered "psychedelic". In common parlance "Psychedelic Art" refers above all to the art movement of the late 1960s counterculture. Psychedelic visual arts were a counterpart to psychedelic rock music. Concert posters, album covers, lightshows, murals, comic books, underground newspapers and more reflected not only the kaleidoscopically swirling patterns of LSD hallucinations, but also revolutionary political, social and spiritual sentiments inspired by insights derived from these psychedelic states of consciousness.

Pyschedelia was a rebellious graphic language that communicated with a select community and for a brief time excluded all others. Pyschedelia is trippy to look at, it uses bright colors and sends messages to certain groups of people. Hippies loved this form of art.

This cat is made up of many colors causing an exotic look. It is also in space which shows the unreal side of the work.

This girl is reaching out to the sun which is in a form of a human showing the hallucienogenic side of pyschedelia art.

Team Media Studies Street Slogans

This is more of an advertisement but the typography of it makes it seem like someone hand wrote it.

Actually created by obey who made a career off of his street art. This slogan is sort of contradicting due to it actually being street art.

This street slogan seemed cool because just some random person had to have done it. they were hoping to create an impact somehow.

This street slogan was painted by a graffiti artist to try and just get people to go with the flow. it is effective because the thumbs up helps portray a good message.

Sankofa - Culture Jamming

Culture jamming is defined as tactic used by many anti-consumerist social movements to disrupt or subvert media culture and its mainstream cultural institutions, including corporate advertising. It is basically ads being remade to make a fool of corporate industries.

This photo depicts the remake of a Coca Cola logo. It says "Enjoy Cavities." This exposes the company and impacts them in a negative way. Coca Cola is known for their sugary pop soft drinks. Rather than saying "Enjoy Coca-Cola" it says "Enjoy Cavities."

This piece of art shows a woman trapped in a traditional hijab. It looks as if she is in prison.There are bars covering her face and a lock. It shows that she has no say in this world and is locked in therefore, she cannot express herself.

This photo mocks the company Dunkin' Donuts. This company is known for selling coffee and sugary foods which are very unhealthy to the human body. Originally this would say "Dunkin' Donuts" but now it says "Dunkin' Diabetes."

This image mocks the company that makes Viatmin Water. They are pretty straightforward and say that it isn't healthy for you, but it sure does taste good.
