Income Gap
Metaphor: The metaphor in this image is is that in some cases, a group can be payed less than an individual due to income gaps. Or that in the modern world more people have to make do with less resources while few people have more resources than they need.
Gestalt Principles: The several forks in the single bit of pie creates a sense of proximity.
Golden Section: This image somewhat uses a spiral golden section as if you look at the pie clockwise it starts further out and moves further into the image.
Consistency: The consistency is in the design of the forks in the pie, it is also with the design of the pie crust that remains consistent.
Colour: It uses a bland-ish orange for the crust and a de-saturated version of that orange for the inside of the pie.
Composition: The composition of this image is dilatational, as all elements surround a central point (the middle of the pie)
Say it Loud
Metaphor: If someone tries to keep you quiet about something you should speak loudly about it anyway, probably directed at those who hold secrets about corruption who are being kept quiet.
Gestalt Principles: This images has a sense of continuation from the binding around the face to the mouth on the back of it.
Golden Section: The golden section of this image would be round as all elements on the outside of this design are curved in a certain direction to create a round feel.
Consistency: The subjects face is black, there is no shading, or anything crafty other than the eye and eyebrow drawn in white. The mouth gag is consistently white.
Colour: The image itself only contains 3 colours. Black and white are the only colours that make up the main subject and a strong orange for the background.
Composition: Although the entire image is centered the main parts of the image (eye and mouth) occupy two different thirds, thus the rule of thirds is at play.
Brainwashed
Metaphor: The media is portrayed as an old fashioned washboard, is cleaning the brain of a person. This is a pun to say that their brain is being washed using the media or that they are being brainwashed by the media.
Gestalt Principles: There is a sense of continuation from the top of the wash board to the bottom of the head.
Golden Section: The golden section for this image seems similar to the golden section for a text character, main part in the middle being the top of the head and the brain, the rest being a filler that the image can not make sense without.
Consistency: All aspects of the image are black and white except for the main subject of the image, the brain.
Colour: It's all black and white except for the brain that is a bright pink to stand out from the strong black.
Composition: Axial, because each element in the image is organised from top to bottom, every element has its place and it all fits together in a very organised fashion.
