This is a book cover for the book Valkyrie. The audience is intended for book readers and people who like learning about historical events. It is also intended to gain other viewers attention to possibly pick up the book and read it. I think that the use of a bold red dot to symbolize targeting Hitler is what grabbed my attention. It is foreshadowing what is going to happen in the book.


This is an advertisement for drinking and driving. The audience for this piece is all car owners and drivers. Its purpose is to show how deadly and painful drinking and driving can be. It uses a painful looking image of a man getting punched in order to show how sudden and brutal an accident from drinking and driving can be. The fact that the artists incorporated the cars into the arm and face is what gained my attention. I like the use of contrasting colors for the cars and the overall message that the image sends.


I say this image online. It is an anti smoking advertisement. Its audience is intended for smokers and just the everyday person to warn about dangers of smoking. The purpose of this advertisement is to warn and somewhat scare people away from smoking. I think the the overall layout of the design is very unified and clever. The artist used cigarettes to covey this message itself of death. I think that the way that the cigarettes create death in itself is a metaphor for the message that he or she is trying to send.
