As the presidential election draws nearer, candidates Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are making last minute efforts to win over the citizens of the United States. One of the quicker ways to get their names out there is to put posters on the lawns of Americans everywhere. Above is one of Donald Trump's campaign posters.

Something that Trump does is he only has the words "Donald Trump" and "Make America Great Again!" on the poster, which proves that these are the only things that are important enough to be written out. His name lets people know who he is, and the "make America great again" shows what his goal is. Since these are the only things written out, they are what catches the eyes of his audience. It's a quick slogan that gets his message across: that by electing him we will be able to bring America back to the way it used to be.

Something else that Trump does is include an image of him standing, with arms crossed, in front of the American flag. This implies that he will defend America and represent the country well. Since they're the only pictures, the audience also immediately associates Trump with the American flag, which makes him seem like the better candidate.

Trump's audience is all of the Americans who will be voting this year. His goal is to get them to vote for him, which I believe he has succeeded in doing. Though many Americans think Trump is ridiculous, his slogan and intense opinions have won the hearts of many republicans. And while some don't support him, a great number of republicans will be voting for him anyways in order to keep another democrat from getting into the office.

We will be seeing many more posters like this everywhere up until the election occurs. Trump and Clinton will be using posters like this one to quickly catch the eye of Americans and gain their vote. May the best candidate win!
