Look around you at all the ads, banners, signs, etc., that litter our world. Write a brief analysis of the persuasive techniques they incorporate. Consider some (or all) of the following questions:
- Who is their audience?
- What is their purpose?
- How big are the signs?
- Are they all the same shape and size?
- Are there any local zoning issues that affect their sizes?
- What colors do they use?
- What sorts of designs do they use?
- What text is on them?
- What size are the words?
- Are some words in larger fonts than others? Why?
- What language is the text in?
- What other questions come to mind in light of your readings and explorations?
Remember: Postings must be substantive and should be approximately 250 words in length. Remember to include an informative subject line.
