Reading Passage: The Power of Visuals in Social Advertising

In a bustling city, a new billboard emerges at the corner of Main Street and 5th Avenue. The advertisement depicts a split image: on one side, a young child holding a plastic bottle amidst a polluted beach; on the other, the same child standing in a lush, green park filled with trees and clean water. The stark contrast is accentuated by vivid colors and striking imagery. The tagline underneath reads, ‘Choose Your Future: Protect Our Planet Today.’ This visual juxtaposition aims to evoke emotional responses, urging viewers to consider their impact on the environment. Such advertisements leverage powerful imagery—metaphors of contamination versus purity—to influence public opinion and encourage behavioral change. Recognizing how visuals, colors, and symbolism work together is critical in understanding the persuasive power of advertising on social issues.
