We Were Served A Lemon






Sorry in advance if this offends anyone. I love the way this sign look. You can see all the imagery it has. "We were served a lemon, but we'll make lemonade," this means that we can take whatever obstacle he throws at us. The hands represents the nation, and that if we stand as one, we can take him down. For Schemes, I think this sign relates to only enumeratio because the sign is dealing with a cause and effect scenario. For Tropes, I think that prosopoeia would be used in this sign, because the lemon that is in the word actual word lemon is supposed to be Donald Trump. The hues for this sign would be different shades of purple, yellow, and white(for the font). The purple that is the background of the sign is low value. The hands that are colored in the different shades of purple are anywhere from middle value to low value. The lemons are middle value and high saturated. The sign is very well balanced. The focalizer's would be Trumps lemon head, the lemons, and the hands that are holding the lemons. The sign is eye level. All the writing that is on the sign looks like its bold, but the word lemonade is italic. Overall I like how the juice is coming out of the lemon head of Trump, you can get a sense of bravery and anger out of this sign. Well at least that is how I feel.
