This image stood out to me because it embraces the simplicity of reading without the distractions of technology to captivate a child’s interest. The bright yellow background draws your attention quickly to the image of the television which is the central focus of the picture. The child reading on the TV shows a balance of imbalances which is called symmetria (Soltes, 2007, p. 18). I find this valuable because when the world around you wants to popularize something like television, it changes an entire culture, and the child reading above the tv shows the priorities of education as the higher standard.
I feel this poster exhibits how literacy is being affected by technology in our environment. Using the focus of scholarship to persuade and communicate to its audience that children will be the most affected by this movement, creates people to stop and think. I love the fact that the television is unplugged, this not only conveys the issue, but it also gives you a solution to technology overload. The children of 1997 are adults today; this is an ongoing problem facing our young adults this poster has the terrific merit of exposing an issue that transformed into future matters.
