So bad, even introverts are here.
With this sign we are able to see isocolon parallelism in the form that there are two words per line. We are also able to see that the spacing between the letters are close to each other. The parallelism and the spacing allude to the idea that the marchers are all standing with and side by side one another. Another spacing technique used is the use of open space on the poster, the top and sides have open space. The words are also written in bold lettering. These two devices are showing the the woman are there out in the open and speaking up boldly for what they believe in and are strong in their beliefs. There is an emphasis used as colors on the words that are red and blue which are written on a white poster board, thus including the patriotic colors of the United States. There are two different blues used in the poster, a darker blue is used to color in the word "introverts". The difference in colors is to create an accent on the word "introverts", however, there is a low contrast between the two blues creating a weak accent on the word because there is not much distinction. The words are also outlined in black to make it easier for readers to read. The premise of facts are used in that it is a fact that introverts don't enjoy going out in crowds. The poster writer created an antithesis balance of a juxtaposition of introverts going out to a large crowd/march. This is then a succession of waste showing that this is important and very bad and the introverts are making the sacrifice to get out of their comfort zone to go protest. The poster all in all is well and gets straight to the point, however is does make a hasty generalization that all introverts do not like to go to rallies.
