Journey of the Hero

Analyzing Visual Images

1.What I see in the picture is a happy family with father, mother, two boys and two girls. They are all smiling as if they are living in heaven without anything to worry about. Even though the color is black and white due to the lack of technology, they are placed in places where it's appropriate for a family picture. One girl is waving her arms in the air as if she was already as happy as she could be. It is certain that the family is seriously delighted.
2. Interpret: I think that the creator was trying to let the world know that if we are in power, you will be able to live just like the happy family without having to worry about anything.
Evaluate: I think the purpose of the picture is to let the citizens of Germany see the photo and vote for them. So basically, the intended audience was the citizens of Germany. I think that it has succeeded because at that time, Germany was in hyperinflation which means that they were in pain. They would have the hope of being happy if the creator of the happy family photo was in power. I am sure that the intended audience would vote for the creator of the photo.
