"//Reality leaves a lot to the imagination//"- John Lennon.

The word **IMAGE** has various definitions and meanings, some of which are directly related to our Elements of Visual Design - PTC605 course and some are less. Here is one of the definitions of the word "image" related to graphics and design that is offered by the [|FODLOC Dictionary]:


 * [|IMAGE]** - Data representing a two-dimensional scene. A digital image is composed of pixels arranged in a rectangular array with a certain height and width. Each pixel may consist of one or more bits of information, representing the brightness of the image at that point and possibly including color information encoded as RGB triples.

Images are usually taken from the real world via a digital camera, frame grabber, or scanner; or they may be generated by computer, e.g. by ray tracing software.

Even when we look at the word "image" outside our Visual Design context, that is, as Data representing two or three dimensional scene, we can play with the word's meanings, and create in turn our own "image" of what this word can suggest.

I am actually talking here about a humorous play or a short story with the world "image" as an anchor. Following are presented five popular definitions of the word "image" followed by example, a sentence that demonstrates the usage of the word "image." What I ask you is to provide one sentence (example) per each definition (using the word image in the same sense,) that will continue the previous sentence and create a "short story" about "image" of a particular sense.

Please see the development of the first definition as an example, and continue the stories:
