Soulforce


Appeal to Force/Fear             The choice to use the word supremacy in reference to Christianity makes the viewer feel as if there is something to be afraid of if they don’t act. By using the words Christian Supremacy the viewer becomes concerned that if they don’t act there will be no one to go against any of the Christian teachings and it will become the supreme authority over everything.

Color
Hue     The poster uses shades of blue, purple, and orange
Saturation       The colors are very vivid, even the light colors are clearly visible to the viewer

Light               
High Contrast        There is clearly a difference between the posters light and dark colors. They are easy to differentiate from each other.

Perspective
Geometric       The bright colors of the snake and the blue text make these images pop out from the background creating a sense of depth in the poster

Focus

Grounding       The snake is in the foreground, the text is in the middle ground, and the light purple bush is in the background. It is an important choice that the snake is in the foreground because it is an important biblical illusion.

Figures
Representationality      The image of the snake is clearly recognizable as an image of a snake. This is an important choice because the allusion to the biblical snake is an important part of the overall message of the poster.
