IMAGE ESSAY NUMBER FIVE: Overlap
Overlapping is a technique that almost all artists use in their imagery. When you overlap somthing you cause your audience to assume or guess that something continues behind it or that there is something back there. In the image above there are numerous times where the knife, bread, and jif jar overlap eachother to create almost a pile like composition. When the jif jar is above two pieces of bread your mind does not believe that the bread must be cut to fit the jar next to it, but believes the the jar is actually laying on top of the two pieces. This whole picture just kinda gives me that urge to walk into the kitchen and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. As simple designed as this picture is, it still gives your mind that idea that you should probably go and make some peanut butter and jelly sandwichs, so go ahead and do so. =D
