    This poster aimed to use emotion to discourage online piracy. Stock photos were selected to represent theft from the internet, like stealing a wallet. The poster used exaggerated claims and dramatic themes, like propaganda, to strongly advocate against piracy. Statistics and facts were limited to grab attention, as with public service announcements. Additional information was included on the back to meet requirements, while keeping the front simple. The goal was to convince viewers that piracy is wrong and a real crime.

    Henry Chen This poster goal was to play on the emotion of the viewer against online piracy.

    The photos (from clip art) were chosen to be alluded to material crime out of the internet, in this case, a wallet. Like all propaganda, I include embellished information that was one-sided towards the goal of the poster in addition to over dramatic themes. I used very little statistics, facts, and words in order gain attention, like most PSAs. However, information that I felt would not add to the poster, I put on the back, in order to fulfill the four explanations requirement. The audience should feel that piracy IS wrong, and a real crime. 1. Dames, K. Matthew. "Why the Frame of 'Piracy' Matters." Information Today (Medford, NJ). Jun. 2009: 22. SIRS Issues Researcher.
