In the third image, I initially intended to demonstrate the evolution of the digital industry during three periods of times. I used the time frames as the verbal elements to demonstrate how people performed during different eras.
As is shown, I used the green color for the background to make the images stand out clearly. The three images are the salient elements. An old camera is placed on the top, and its films are the framing that used to connect other two images.
Starting with the left, I used an image where there is an artist painting human portrait around two hundred years ago. At that time, it was the only method that people used to record images.
After the camera was invented, the way of recording images had radically changed. People were allowed to record their images using camera and films. So in the picture above, I located the image in the middle showing the camera and films were the typical types of photography in that phase.
When it comes to the digital age, taking pictures has become an extremely simple thing. By using one finger to access the camera app on the phone, any person can take a good quality photo in a flash of time.
The image on the right is showing how people record images in today’s world; people can easily post their photos on any social media to share their lives and emotions with family and friends. Therefore, these two people as the image to illustrate that taking a selfie is not only a way of recording images but also become a way of modern communication.
These three images as a timeline to demonstrate the evolution of recording images from hundreds of years ago to the modern age.
