Answer 1

Answer:

d. Symbolism.​

Explanation:

In design, symbolism refers to the use of symbols to represent a certain ideology or message. The used of symbolism will enable the audiences to understand the message that the artists wanted to convey without necessarily have to write it directly.

For example, If you pay attention to American politics, you will notice that a Donkey is used as a symbol for Democratic party.

This could be traced back to the initial formation symbol during the 1828 presidential election. At that time, Andrew jackson was the representative from the Democratic party.

Jackson's political opponents often referred to him as a 'stupid' because of his out of the box ideas. Rather than being furious and tried to retaliate, Jackson and his team decided to embrace the insult and used a donkey as a symbol for the party (Donkey is often regarded as a stupid animal).

The symbol conveyed that no matter how many people told them they're stupid or other form of insults, they Democratic party still stands for its forward thinking.
