This visual argument is made to persuade people that the genocide in Darfur affects everyone. The image creates an emotional argument that appeals to all audiences through its simplistic image of having relatives simply crossed out. The visual assumes that its audience knows about the genocide occurring in Darfur and creates sympathy through our own connection with our own relatives. It relates this through the simple phrase at the top “what happens to Darfur happens to us.” The main argument here is that its not only Darfur that is affected by the genocide, but everyone, which is why the argument is effective in persuading its audience.

poster art is a genre in itself; great arguments have been made through great posters WW11 had wonderful posters, and so did the 60s.
