Visual Language
The visual message communicated through this screenshot of Super Mario Bros. 3 is that it is a dynamic playful environment for various characters. With different pastel colors, the image visually communicates the playfulness. There is also motion in the image as there are three different characters floating in the air. The rectangles and the overlapping of characters and objects give us a sense of dimension in the world the image is depicting. The image makes use of symbols visual intelligence also. Most of the bottom of the image is made up of various symbols made up of letters and numbers.
In a video game screen shot, the character you are controlling is typically in the center of the screen. Also, video games usually have a heads-up display to show the user information about the current status of your progress within the game.
