  1. Visual Text Identifying and discussing the effectiveness of the visual and critical features of the text.

  2. Intro • This is one of the propaganda posters advertising Gallipoli to the young Aussie men in the early 1900's, as WWI began. • We chose this poster as it is directly involved to the ANZAC's who were enlisting and fighting in the Gallipoli campaign.

  3. Object/Shape/Figures • ANZAC soldier (young male) in the centre making the body gesture that he is calling out for help. • Standing larger than life in between the Dardanelles. • Propaganda text saying 'Enlist Now' in big bold font at the bottom. • A call from a soldier in the Dardanelles, "Coo-ee- won't you come?"

  4. Size • The ANZAC soldier is larger than life being able to stand across Gallipoli and Turkey. • The soldier is wearing typical khaki clothing, a hat and his rifle.

  5. Setting • The setting is over the Dardanelles where all the ANZACs would have been during WWI. • The setting is very dull with earthly colours used for the background.

  6. Colour • The colour scheme is earthly colours which are dry and dull. • The soldier is wearing khaki clothing. • The background is smudges white and black so add to the poster propaganda feel.

  7. Position • The soldier is positioned centre in the foreground and is the only character in the poster. • There is also speech coming from the soldier which is the key object as it is a propaganda poster.

  8. Direction • The soldier is facing us at eye to eye level giving a friendly look and increasing chance of enlistment for the ANZACs.

  9. Angle • The soldier is obviously larger than life and is standing tall and strong. • The audience sees power and authority in the soldier. • We are at equal height to the soldier.

  10. Light • The illustrator uses bring dry lighting to give emphasis the poster and propaganda. • The bring background stands out to a potential viewer. • There is a smudge of dull black and white which shows that the time is neither day nor night.

  11. Body Language • The soldier is looking at us with his hands around his mouth to amplify his call to enlist for the war. • The facial expression is somewhat helpless which will allow the audience to become empathetic and get young Aussie men to enlist. • The body posture is still tall and strong which shows how valiant the soldiers are.

  12. Clothing • The soldier is wearing khaki clothing which was the typical clothing for the ANZACs. • Most Australians can stereotype people who wear khaki because it has cultural significance in our history.
