Example B If one is to search “Washington DC on Google Images this is what shows up. Take notice of the related searches, and the images that show up. Many of them are of the skyline or monuments, no real shots of the actual city, peoples homes, businesses. The related searches are “Washington DC map, Washington DC city, Washington DC skyline, Washington DC monuments, Washington DC at night.”There is nothing in the visual dialogue about the lack of congressional representation of the city, because people do not seem to be interested in it. It would be interesting to see what would happen should Google Images put a pro DC vote image on the first page of image results for Washington DC. I believe it would change the perceptions of the populous , as one strong image in a mood board would change the direction of a design project. This “mood board” is almost as linear as the Dragon Fruit one. DC is seen as only monuments to many people.
