Designers change the meaning of images by making an interesting combination, image transformation, alteration, exaggeration, and combination; photomontage, camera angle and viewpoint, cropping, graphic support elements. Other ways to alter meanings are through choice of typeface, texture, or use of lighting in photographs. Using all of these skills, designers are able to alter the original connotations.
