Comprehension clues in page 54,55 about my essay
- ·
The only
individual image that appears in this ad is picture of a kid who is suffocated
from the smoke.
- ·
The
kid’s image is almost fill out the whole page which shows the main focus of the
ad is on him. Also, with the light on his head, all of the attraction draws to kid’s
head and the smoke around him.
- ·
The relative
size of the image between the kid and the font for the written text is huge. Even
though, the written words in the ad are emotionally strong and powerful, the
creators of the ad preferred to make the font very small, and let the image do
the talking.
- ·
The background
is solid black which shows all of the focus is on the kid’s image. In addition,
the black background makes a great contrast with kid’s bright head, and makes
it even lighter.
- ·
Around the kid is an empty black space which represents
kid has left alone and helpless.
- ·
The
kid has a simple glumly brown shirt to show pain and sadness he is suffering.
There are no colorful or graphical shirts which mostly are used for kids. Also,
the shirt has a harmony with kid’s hair color. The kid’s face is abnormally red
which shows he has a hard time breathing or he cried a lot because if the pain
that he is suffering.
- ·
The only
person in the ad is the kid; however, the ad mentions two groups of people.
First group, smoker who choose to smoke and the other group is non smokers who
are the victims of sharing space with smokers.
- ·
The
kid’s face expression is suffocated, fear and agony. When kids are under pain,
they start to cry because cry is the only thing they can do to show their pain.
The smoke in the ad makes a plastic bag’s illusion around kid’s head which
could be deadly.
This is a very troubling picture because there is a crying kid with smoke just flowing around his head and into his mouth and nose. At least the way I see it they make the smoke look like a plastic bag and with the words “Smoking isn’t just suicide, Its murder” they are comparing smoking around children to the same as putting a plastic bag over your kids head and suffocating them. This is a very powerful image I’m sure anyone who saw it would defiantly be affected by it, whether they would agree with it or not is another story but I think most people would agree smoking can kill.
