Do your political affiliations affect that way you "read" images? A group of graphic designers created Visual Ideology; representing political ideas with images to explore this notion. They pose the question this way: "Given the choice, what images would the general public associate with specific ideas or words? How can one image be more meaningful than another similar image? This project asks viewers to make decisions as to images that best represent their visual definition of political terms or ideas." I encourage you to try this yourself. After you complete the (often hilarious) visual survey, an interface will tell you exactly who shares your visual politics.
