This week, we held our fourth and final media conference. Peter Milne is an experienced photo-media practitioner, and taught us all the ins and outs of visual communication.
We were shown what makes a photo iconic, and how to send a message through a picture. Photos such as the Mona Lisa illustrated how important a picture can be, and how other people send messages through that picture.
I was mostly interested in Banksy and they way his street art has become globally renowned. Banksy knows exactly the message he wants to convey, and how to capture the public's attention. Some might say he illustrates what many others wouldn't dare to say aloud.
I had received a similar speech from Mr Milne in another course, so I was familiar with some of the captures he was showing. However, I will leave you with this - Banksy's illustration of war within America. It's enough to make anyone stop and think.
