They won't let you get off the bus


The first picture is showing the environment of the announcement and the second picture is the zoomed version of the first one. This is a public announcement made by Trans link (Company that runs public vehicles in British Columbia) that we can see in every bus station around Vancouver. If you analyze the other way this sentence can be completely misguiding as it only describes about getting on to the bus but doesn't says anything about getting off. Taking it in a humorous way we can say that Buses are only for picking up the passengers at designated places but not for dropping off the passengers.

Merry Christmas


This picture was developed as an awareness program for helping street children. This poster was probably published during December when the Christians have their great festival Christmas. In this picture three garbage bags are shown with a sketch of ribbon on the wall. It is tried to sh that only the garbage bags are the Christmas gifts for the street children. So this advertisement encourages people to donate some amount of their spending on Christmas so that the street children could spend some good time during Christmas and have a better living.

Let's have a kick,..


This advertisement was published by ‘Animal Anti-Cruelty League’. This poster is full of emotional appeal regarding prevailing animal abuse. In this advertisement a Dalmatian dog is placed in front of the football goal post on the football ground. The dog here resembles a football. It is tried to show that the animals are not the thing to play with or give torture.
In the background the sky is also dark and cloudy which seems like its going be heavy rain with thunderstorm. This can be related to the consequences of the animal abuse. Animal abuse can bring devastation in the society. Animals are for love and care not for play and mistreatment.

The Earth is Heating Up

This poster is created for awaring people about global warming by ‘The Big Ask’. The poster is an invitation to all humans for acting against the global warming. In this picture it is shown that a polar bear, which is supposed to live in the colder environment, is walking with its fur off from its body.
This advertisement is full of emotion. No creature in this earth peels its skin off even its burning heat. It is shown that the earth is getting so hotter that the polar bear has to remove its skin off to tolerate the heat.
It is also shown that how disgusting an animal looks after its outer coat off. I think it also tried to send a message as if we clear our outer cover of earth (vegetation) how awful the earth looks, so conserve the forest areas of the earth in order to regulate the climate.
