Ok, so I'm not going to say this is the most intriguing image ever, but I came across it in a magazine and it made me think about how convention shapes our understanding of an image. Before I saw that it was an ad for d-CON mouse traps, I knew what the message was. The extremely simple image (a half-elipse resting edge-down on a straight line) effectively evokes both an image of a mouse hole at the base of a wall (as was so often seen in Tom & Jerry cartoons) and an image of a tomb stone with the letters R.I.P engraved on it. Of course, the two images together suggest a mouse's death, so what else would the ad be about? Anyway, like I said, perhaps not the most intriguing work of art, but I thought I'd post it, none the less.
