Week 4, Block 1: Responding to Visual Arguments

In this advertisement women who smoke are mainly the target.
 
I think this visual was created for a neutral audience because it is nothing hostile or friendly about it.
 
The goals of the person or group is to raise awareness of the effects of women smoking.
 
The issues that this visual is adressing is smoking.
 
This visual takes a negative position on the issue by showing the womens lips burned by smoking.
 
Yes this visual is a refutation against smoking
 
I think this visual is very effective ,convincing and clear to the point it's making against smoking.

  1. When I look at this visual I see a lady with red lip stick on, with a big black cigarette burn on the lip. The visual gives me the impression that it is not sexy for a women to smoke. I could be wrong but, do females that smoke have different effects then males that smoke? I would think that the effects will be the same.

  2. I agree with Adrian on what he said. I think there could be more to the ad and I think its trying to say that smoking isn't very attractive. I think that it isn't very attractive on a guy or a girl. Smoking can cause a lot of problems on people's health and sometimes relationships with other people.
