The above image is a advertising poster for a small Cornish music festival called 'Leopallooza'. The poster features brief information of when the event will take place but most importantly who will be making an appearance at the festival. The poster is intended for those interested in the type of music on offer and as there appears to be a little something for everyone and with the poster having no particular characteristics that would associate it with either gender of any particular age, the poster could be suited to many. The poster does act persuasively through the use of the acts on offer with big names in big fonts such as 'Bastille' and 'Jacob Banks'. The poster does not specifically suggest why one should attend the event but the mention of the headline acts would be the prime reason for one to attend. Each acts has been layer out neatly with a large bold font used so each one can be clearly read. The tag line for the event, and the short description is features at the bottom of the poster which appears to be an odd place for it to be situated as it can not be clearly seen and many may not even notice it there.
George - this is an excellent blog. You've chosen some really varied language sources and thought really maturely about how they're hitting their target audiences through their language features here. Great start to the course, well done!
