Last update: Saturday 31st of July 2010
In common usage, an image (from Latin imago) or picture is an artifact that reproduces the likeness of some subject—usually a physical object or a person.
Images may be two dimensional, such as a photograph, or three dimensional such as in a statue. They are typically produced by optical devices—such as a cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces.
The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or an abstract painting. In this wider sense, images can also be produced manually, such as by drawing, painting, carving, by computer graphics technology, or a combination of the two, especially in a pseudo-photograph.
A volatile image is one that exists only for a short period of time. This may be a reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene displayed on a cathode ray tube. A fixed image, also called a hardcopy, is one that has been recorded on a material object, such as paper or textile.
A mental image exists in someone's mind: something one remembers or imagines. The subject of an image need not be real; it may be an abstract concept, such as a graph, function, or "imaginary" entity. For example, Sigmund Freud claimed to have dreamt purely in aural-images of dialogues. The development of synthetic acoustic technologies and the creation of sound art have led to a consideration of the possibilities of a sound-image comprised of irreducible phonic substance beyond linguistic or musicological analysis.

In the current post we will speak about the forth component of a photograph, which is a photography idea or message that the author conveys through Color, Light and Shape.
Say Bowflex, and many images come to mind: sweaty people on informercials, home gyms with spidery wings, muscular guy folding one up. And the number of different models confusing the mind. Now, they've come up with a new one...
A contact of mine at a company called Synovate has launched http://www.qubox.com. The site you search for – and be found by – people who think the same way you do. They use a proven psychological technique for measuring like-mindedness, which basically involves you choosing from a series of images so pretty low involvement.
Have you ever wondered if you would be a good candidate to enter a career that involves digitally modeling 3D images and characters? Or, are you contemplating changing careers? Perhaps you have an art background or a design degree or even a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, or even Art History, and want to enter the world of creativity.
