Stand out

I don't get what this is trying to persuade me to do.

this poster is in a word mediocre. There is not much color so it is not as appealing. THe silver elements in it make it rather bland. However i feel the message is pretty persuading. It's good to stand out and not just go with the crowd because that can lead to going down the wrong path. In order to make this better i think they could have added color in the text, or added color in the highlighted coin in order to make it stand out even more, but the poster does give some good outlooks on life and the design is overall successful

this poster is average but overall successful. since it is pretty faded and just nickles it isn't too appealing to me. i completely understand the concept of the persuasion though. there is no question about that. i like how there is one coin unfaded and facing the opposite way of the others implying that it isn't changing to fit in with the crowd. if you always follow the crowd and do what other people want you to do that can bring trouble. i think if more color was added to jazz it up a bit then it would be perfect. simple and to the point.

This persuasive poster is very vague. I'm not really sure what its about. I'm also not sure what coins have to do with not being afraid to change. The image and the message don't go together very well. I think that the creator was a little too caught up with making a pun than trying to persuade a viewer to do something. I don't really think the topic was a very good choice.

This poster does not get a good message across. The balance of the coins i felt did no match> However the coins standing out bigger had a good proportion compared to the others. Overall there message of change does not get across at all very well. I think that if you were going to keep the coins you needed to add more color. The coins needed more than just dark and light The dominance as the coin is very unique buy once again very plane.

This poster has a lot of potential, and a few minor adjustments could have made the difference. While the poster is telling you to stand out, all the change in the background are nickels. If the artist would have made the spotlighted coin a different coin, it would have made i much more effective.
