What are Images?
The word “image” came from the Latin word “imago” which refers to

any item that depicts visual perception, such as a photograph or other two-
dimensional picture, resembling an object. Print images include printed

photographs and images found in magazines, newspapers and books. On
the other hand, non-print images can be digital images available for viewing
in electronic devices such as mobile phones, television and computers.
Types of Images and Their Purposes
1. Real images are pictures which depict visuals of objects or
happenings that exist in real life. These are also known as fact
images. The purposes of these images can be:
a. to inform or to educate (like actual photos of animals)
b. to tell stories (like in picture-story books)
c. to entertain (like stolen photos with funny content)
d. to persuade (like the actual photos of burnt lungs of a smoker to
encourage others to quit smoking).
2. Make-believe images are pictures which illustrate something that is
not real. Though these images may have some realistic features, they
are just product of imagination, thus, do not exist in real life. These
are also known as non-fact images. These images can be used with
the following purposes:
a. to entertain (like images of fantasy world and magical
creatures)
b. to tell fiction stories (like picture books of fairy tales)
c. to persuade (like some editorial cartoons that express opinions
through caricatures and visual symbols)
In identifying whether images are real or make-believe, analyze if the
characters, objects and settings found in the image can possibly exist or
happen in real life. If yes, then it is a real image. If not, it is a make-believe
image.
