2 Campaign Advertisements This print based advert was created by WWF warning people about the dangers of climate change. They do not include writing, hyperboles or any kind of statistics in order to let the audience focus solely on the image and what it represents. This is quite rare for a print based campaign advert as it is not trying to be persuasive through the use of emotive language. It is a pretty hard selling campaign as it uses a moving and slightly distressing image to convey its point. The image is of a penguin appearing as if it is melting symbolising the effects of the melting of the polar ice caps. The background is red symbolising blood and death. At the bottom right corner they have their logo notifying the audience of who made the campaign poster and to go through them to find out more information.

What is noticeable as well is that when Kendrick goes through the split screen his appearance...

Different perspectives on the Aftermath of Snap Election The two newspapers that I will be comparing and contrasting is 'The Sun' and 'The Guardian'. In particular their coverage on Teresa May's response to her failed Snap Election. Whilst 'The Sun' is predominantly right-wing and 'The Guardian' is predominantly left-wing, they take different approaches to handle the situation that are against their political views.  Their headlines both consist of quotes from May herself. The Guardian tells us that she has "no regrets" about her decision making her sound strong-willed and motivated. Whilst not agreeing with her points, they accepted them and treated her as if she knew what he was doing. The Sun however mocks her and makes her sound as if she is begging the country for forgiveness. They announce that she " pleads with Sun readers to allow her to stay in Downing Street in order to make Brexit happen. The image that is accom...
