Poster

I attended the PLAKAT: Poster Art from Poland exhibition in the Martha Gault Art Gallery located on campus. The posters were loaned from the University Museum at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Poster art was developed internationally from the Polish Poster School after the late 1950’s. The posters were not abstract nor non-representational; each had recognizable images, such as people or objects found throughout the world. These posters were all created for the same purpose of representing a film. The posters were created by many artists from differing years. The posters had unique elements that were able grab my attention. There were several posters that caught my eye that I thought I could write an essay on, but I decided to go with…

or pressured into volunteering to protect the country. Many propaganda posters at this time were emerging to get more men to enlist. Harry Hoops created one of the most capturing propaganda poster of the time titled Destroy this Mad Brute Enlist. The image depicts a large gorilla stomping onto shore, holding a bloody club in one hand and a half naked women it the other, while in the background there is a view of a city in ruin and smoke. This image depicted Germany as powerful and destructive,…

Many of the propaganda posters of World War One have symbolism to persuade the viewers to be a participant in the war. One of the propaganda posters made in Germany has a snake with eight arrows and the number eight, entangling the snake. We can presume that the snake is the Alliances and the eight symbolizes the war bond that the Germans were merchandising at that time. You can see that the arrows are piercing the serpent, which symbolizes that the money that is put in the war bond will support…

In this paper, I will analyze some of our group activities we had in our Real Change Learning Community, to get a better view of how our group performs, what group stages we are on and what we should improve to enhance the performance. So far, we had two major group activities in College 101 course. One was the campus resource presentation and the other was the…

The headline state, “I have thunder thighs”. The poster has a picture of a women from waste down. She has nothing close to thunder thighs she is extremely thin. When one first looks at this they might feel bad. Many girls hate that part of their body but this advertisement by Nike is trying to make you think of this as positive. It lists all the positive things in the body about how great it is to have big thighs. The body of this advertisement has picture-and-caption copy it is relying on one…

behavior displayed in the library. The message is further insinuated by posters providing step-to-step directions on “how to reserve a study room,” situated above the self-checkout and outside of study rooms. These posters serve as illustrations of logical appeal as coordinators used plausible reasoning for the preservation of a peaceful environment offering directions on how to reserve the study room, avoiding disputes. Tying in with the maintenance of a peaceful environment, the coordinators…

The only sound in the world is the one of waves crashing against the hot sand. The only smell is one of salt in the air. You feel the hot sensation of your skin under the blazing sun. This heavenly scene stresses emotion, nature, and a simple lifestyle. Those are three emphases of Romanticism, a powerful theme that values the natural world above reason and logic. In Romantic works, trees, mountains, and lakes are not only commonly seen, but have a restorative power on the soul. Romanticism,…

“Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth used rhetorical strategies very effectively. Truth used rhetorical strategies effectively because her tone, text structure, figurative language, and the rhetorical devices she used let the audience know what she was feeling and why she was fighting for was she was fighting for. Truth used many rhetorical strategies in her speech but pathos, logos, ethos, allusion, juxtaposition, and pinpointing really made her argument valid and strong. Sojourner Truth’s…

I don't know why they call him Uncle Jimmy, but that was the name popping on my cell phone last Tuesday. He told me he needed a driver for a post office job he was planning and that it was all ready to go. Jimmy is in his 50s, but age doesn’t bothered him. He’s a huge, muscular built man. He always carries his Beretta, loaded and with the safety off, inside his jacket or hanging on his waist. Jimmy loves to scare people, he gets excited when he sees the look on their faces as they stand…

gaze out into the dark street, the rain still pouring it. My enhanced eyes search for movement. Any signs of life. You never know whose out in the shadow, ready to shoot you down. “Crysta,” Jensen calls out, calmly. “Yeah?” “What’s this?” he questions, holding up a picture of a girl who I use to know and use to be human. It’s my wanted poster. “Oh, yeah,” I reply, snatching the poster from him. I forget my face is known all throughout Scelestus City. I let out a laugh. “I sort of forget about…
