Final Part Two

Artifact One
For me the first artifact of the socal poster promped me to learn. I did't really get what it was trying to convery, until i read what it was for. But i was curious because its not typical to see a black tree with a background that conveys beauty, Also where it says SoCal 07, when i think of socal i think of beautiful palm trees, which again made me wonder why the tree was black. Over I think the artifact was successful, because if i saw it on the street i would be inclined to find out what it was all about. To a certain extent the poster make me want to help in the cause, but at the same time i didn't feel entirely pulled to help. I was to focused on trying to figure out what it is all about.

Artifact Two
I was a little shocked with the second artifact. It definatly was emotion grabbing. You never want someone to kill themselves and then you see this poster which by having the cartoonish finger in the barrel kind of made me like they didn't think it was that serious. But after I analyze why they did that i realize that it was emtion provoking and thats what makes in rememberable.
After realizing that it was made this way to be rememberable I felt the need to want to help. Once ya get passed the shock value, you can't get it out of your head and would make you want to act to help people who would be distressed enough to commit suicide.

Artifact Three
To me artifact three is very effective in communicating getting out and doing something. Its reminds me of the motivational poster of golf courses, that has words like determination at the bottom. They really make you want to get out perfect something, which is exactly what I think they were trying to accomplish.
