Her Emails

Image result for anthony weiner political ad

Deconstruction:
  • Medium: Digital
  • Materials: 1s & 0s and pixels
  • Subject Matter: The subject of this image is the connection between Anthony Weiner and Hillary Clinton.
  • Aesthetic Qualities: This image is neither sublime nor beautiful.
  • Composition: The focal point of this image is the center where it says "her emails"
  • Gesture: Anthony Weiner is looking very guilty, his face looks stressed. Hillary is looking down at her phone with sunglasses on, looking like she's trying to stay low and not be noticed.
  • Formal Elements: The lighting on this image forces the eyes to the middle. The dark colors of everything, with Weiner's name in red, whose very obviously a infamous figure, associates Hillary Clinton with guilt.
  • Lighting: The image is very dark, with lighting around the center where the text is.
  • Dimension: It looks like a billboard sized image, or like something that would be on tv.
  • Location: Weiner is at a press conference, and Hillary is on the move.
  • Display: This image is very simple and straight to the point.
    Response:
    In order to understand this image, one has to understand the back story to Anthony Weiner, and what else someone may find on his laptop. Moreover, Weiner's private info was leaked before, so the ad is meant to make people fear that Hillary's private info as Sec of State could get leaked and risk national security.
