the word “Impossible” written in black ink. As you work through the
letters in the word, there is a tear in the paper and the word
“possible” is torn away and slightly raised above the dull colored wall
leaving a shadow behind it. The lighting shifts to highlight the word
“possible” in a bright, positive mood signaling to the viewer that you want to be present here, not
back in the shadows. This image was created to inspire and encourage viewers to chase and
The simplicity of the image allows it to be relatable and successful at connecting with
the audience. Since the image is not addressing a specific example, each person viewing it can
attach it to their own struggle. This adds to the logos of the image and its ability to stay relevant
Logos is also used in the design of the image. The artist makes the image easy to
analyze with a sequence of events from left to right. The dark lighting on the left side of the
picture makes the reader feel as though that side of the picture is depressing rather than
uplifting. As you continue to look at the image you read the letters “im” and then notice a tear in
the paper to symbolize that this part of the word has been broken off and will remain in the
depressing part of the image. After the tear in the paper, the remaining word “possible” is left
with a bright and clear focus changing the mood from depressing to upbeat. Finally, the reader
will notice the red underline beneath the word “possible” emphasizing the artist’s point.
With deeper analysis of the image you will notice “possible” is leaving its shadow on the
mono-colored wall behind. This is interpreted to mean when achieving what is considered to be
impossible, you will separate yourself from the status quo. This would further reinforce the
artist’s purpose of inspiring the reader to achieve what others do not accept as possible.
