    Is Ghostbusters (2016) a racist, sexist movie? While researching the topic of social responsibilities of popular culture creators, I found the ongoing backlash against the rebooted movie Ghostbusters (2016) a vivid example.

    That being said, while in traffic stuck behind a bus with a banner for the fair on it, I found myself bothered by the placement of the image on the advertisement. The image was formatted the same as the up and down poster, although because of its extra width the formatting caused there to be awkward space and no real dominate element to focus on. I believe if the image of the child were cropped from the bottom of the eyes up it would allow for the image to be blown up larger, while keeping the child’s emotion still clear, (visible because of his eyes) through the apparent happy excited emotion visible. After seeing this flaw I realized some other issues with the image, a major flaw being that because all the items coming out of the child’s head are the same size, which makes it easy for viewers to glance over the image without necessarily focusing on any detail because the graphic has a lack of contrast within its self. For example, I believe that if some elements were larger, such as the ice cream, the clown, and the bumper car it would add more contrast there for be more visually intriguing.…
