In this political picture, a man,
representing our national congress, promises full funding for special
education. However his promise seems empty and unrealistic. The text bubbles
showing his message are scattered, full of ellipses, making his words seem meaninglessly
strung along. The message is also portrayed by a hollow “man,” a man seemingly soulless,
and without any tangible reality to him. All he is now is the cover to congress’
message, only relaying to the public what they want to hear—that congress will
help fund special education. The fact that this man delivering the “full
funding” memo is hollow represents the empty promise behind congress’ message. Also,
because congress is the law making body of the government, it puts into
question their reliability based on the phony representative sent to deliver
their message.
I like the way Antonella broke down the various aspects of this picture, even the smaller details such as the ellipses which fragment his speech. The analysis is clear and concise, which is also effective.
