Veterans Day


               Each poster represents Veterans Day in different ways.  The first poster is bright and very appealing, while the second poster is dark and solemn.  The first poster has the sun gleaming behind the American Flag and big letters that say “Veterans Day”.  The first poster is catchier to the eye and has more of a cheerful mood, but is not very informative.  The second poster shows you the date Veterans Day is going to be held and has more sayings about Veterans Day.  Even though the second poster is not that bright and happy, it really gets you to think about what Veterans Day is really about.  Yes, we are remembering our veterans and our loved ones, but the first poster makes it seem too happy and celebratory.  
            The second poster really makes you appreciate what our veterans and loved ones have done for us, it gets you to remember the hard times and struggles our veterans went through.  The second poster overall is more meaningful, especially with the two sayings underneath Veterans Day and the footprint in the center.  The light that is hanging over the footprint makes you just able to make the footprint out which is amazing.  The second poster, I definitely find more appealing and meaningful than the first poster.  Veterans Day is a time to celebrate our veterans and all they have done for our country, and the second poster helps you think about that and appreciate our veterans as well.

  1. Thanks for citing your two sources. Good evaluation. There are a few minor errors in grammar (e.g., "The second poster you the date Veterans Day is going to be held"). Try and separate your critique into two paragraphs, too to make it easier for the reader to identify information related to Poster 1 and information related to Poster 2.
