Images can be powerful when taken in honesty such as the event in Tienanmen Square were one man stood alone against 4 tanks and I remember hearing this in high school (37). However other powerful images can also be manipulated and deceitful which are the results of "false advertising". For example 3 examples I can think of are manipulated in cosmetics, food, and fitness industry. This can make pretty much all those commercial on t.v about the biggest burgers, the fountain of youth, and insta-abs a reality instead of a dream. It can make anything on t.v look real when in actuality these images are a lie because the images that are manipulated are used to make people believe what they are seeing.


Propaganda and marketing campaigns, no? Visual rhetoric 101 here!
