Text No.6 -Celia Chan


Look: an attractive text- with different colour of fibers mixing together in the background. A white and large font size of ‘ Culture’ in the middle. 

What is it? It’s a poster saying ‘ Here is holding a exhibition about different culture’ to the people who are interested in culture. It wants us to visit and have a look of the exhibition. The sender is the council.

 

Read: A question is in the middle of the poster. Different colors of fibers are the background. However, some of the colours are very similar/same, like purple, yellow and green. Colour is clearly very bright and sharp.

 

Explore: the dominant signifiers are the words and the fibers.  

The meaning of the colours of the fibers is very essential to the poster. Since each colour means different countries/ culture, the variety of the colours in background represent the distinct cultures. Concerning the similarity of some colours, similar cultures are revealed, for example, light yellow and pale green. On the other hand, some of the colours are used for more than 1 time, they seem to represent the widespread of that culture.

 

A very large contract is seen compare to the background. The words ‘your culture’ is especially in bold. The use of the font style is to highlight the message and draw people attention, forcing on the largest font ’culture’ .

 

Review: A very interesting and colourful text, with obviously colourful design of the different colours of fibers, meaning the differences of cultures. The right hand bottom has the logo of the council, which is the organizer of this exhibition, providing information for the reader if they have further questions. The exhibition is for who are interested in cultural history.
