What are the conventions of this text type?: The conventions of my chosen
text type is that it is a form of communication, whose main purpose is to
influence a mass population. Due to the nature of propaganda, it is often biased
towards the agenda the creators are aiming for. Another property of propaganda
is that it appeals more to human emotions (Pathos) rather than the logical
aspect of persuasion (Logos). Other than the common conception of political
extremism, this text type could also be used in a positive sense, such as the
encouragement of healthcare systems.

My Goals for this FOA: is to understand in more detail the various aspects of
visual language and the many unnoticeable decisions the artists makes just to
emphasise an issue. I also want to have a deeper understanding of how the
media takes advantage of how we think and persuade a certain idea. For
example, I want to know more about how something as trivial to us like
placement of text aects the meaning of text greatly in our minds. I also want to
improve on the development my personal opinions on the feelings I get when
seeing an example of mass media, and be able to connect to the language
analysis and context.
