Question 73visual composition · core

Compare the two original images. An accessible description is provided with the image.

Which view makes the character's facial expression easier to examine?

What does the wide view help the viewer notice?

The exact colour of the figure's eyes. How small the figure is compared with the empty stage. A hidden character behind the curtain. Words spoken by an unseen audience.

Question 75visual composition · core

Which statement is an interpretation supported by View A?

The figure is definitely angry with a teacher. The empty space may make the figure seem alone. The image explains exactly what will happen next. The picture proves the figure has no friends anywhere.

Question 76visual composition · core

What changes between the two views?

The season shown on a calendar. The framing and amount of surrounding space. The number of people on the stage. The character's name and spoken words.

Why might Poster A be easier to read quickly from a distance?

Its text sizes separate the event name from the details. It removes every detail except the picture. Its books contain a complete story. It includes a different event date.

Question 79visual composition · core

What job does the large book illustration do in Poster A?

It reinforces that the event is about books. It proves which exact books will be available. It tells the reader the event lasts all day. It replaces the need to state the location.

Question 80visual composition · core

Which judgement compares the posters using visual evidence?

B has a spoken soundtrack and A does not. B must be more truthful because its words are smaller. A has one strong centre of attention; B spreads attention across similar elements. A advertises a different activity from B.
