Blog Exercise - Meaning 2:  Interactions Between the 3 Levels

Representational

- In the blog exercise two, I'm using three different images to represent the same coke object. In representational, abstract, and symbolic ways. The first one is the representational aspect of the object. It is been illustrated clear and real life like. Just like the original coke can. The color is red and white with the white colored background. It simply relates directly to the product, and representing the product.




Abstract






This is the abstract version of the same object - coke bottle. The role this image plays is to express the different backgrounds and depth behind the object. In this abstractive image in particular, the shapes of leaves and rocks are used in the color of greens and browns. The shapes that is forming the bottle are very abstractive as well, which isn't the exact shape but we can still see the basic forms and shapes.


Symbolic
-



The third image is the symbolic version of the Coke. The role this image plays is to allow audience associate to the product just seeing this symbolic photo. Because the Coke is very universal and iconic, the red and white stripes will serve as the purpose of symbols and automatically recalls what it will represent to. The shape is very simple but it is staple enough to represent the object clearly.
