Analyzing Visual Images

The Caption on the above poster reads "Healthy Parents Have Healthy Children". On your post please do the following:
1. Describe what you see in the picture. Consider color, placement, people and objects, and composition. Everything that you see.
2. Interpret: Guess about the creator is trying to express through the caption and images. Why is this message being conveyed?
Evaluate: What is the intended purpose of this image? The intended audience? Does the image achieve its purpose?

This picture is representing a healthy German family, all the children are chubby and healthy, and the parents are smiling and are stout. The whole family is smiling and they are wearing decent clothing. The picture goes right to the point, "the German Family" it is right in the center, and there are no distractions. The writing is big, yet it is not the first thing we see its on the top and the bottom. The color of the picture is black and white and the picture isn't really loud, and I think what it is trying to show is that there isn't going to be only one family like this, there are going to be many more like this one, so it is in black and white, showing that if you vote for the party, then all of Germany will soon look like this.

What I think the creator is trying to convey is that, all your problems will be solved if you vote for this party, and that you won't have to starve anymore, you will look like this healthy family. So this why it is being put up because they want to attract people to vote for the party, and they are using a healthy family as a bait, because then Germany was suffering under the Great Depression. So this advertisement is giving some of the families some hope.

The purpose of this message is probably for the public to vote for a specific party. The intended audience is the Germans, because I know that the Germans were mostly against the Jews, and I doubt they were talking about the Jews in this picture. The image achieves its purpose, because they are trying to attract Germans, and during that time I would have seriously been attracted to an image like this if I were a parent. So over all I believe this picture is a propaganda to attract Germans, to vote for a specific party, and to generalize all Germans.
