Exportation of Elephants


This poster was designed to stop persuade the halting of the exportation of Haitian elephants. Once you understand what the poster is saying, the poster does a good job of making it memorable. The text has a little ring to it to make it stick in your head, “here, there, or everywhere.” It is a simple Dr. Seuss phrase that is used to focus attention the animal. It shows the elephant changed and doing tricks for here and there, and shows the elephant free for everywhere.
The poster is effective once read, but I don’t believe it is eye-catching enough to catch any extra attention. The colors aren’t bright enough and the pictures are really that riveting. They require some text in order to increase its success. So overall it is effective with the text, but initially it doesn’t accomplish its goal.

yeah - not very vivid and doesn't have one central message, which a poster must have.

but, surely there are no elephants in Haiti?
