How I’m linking my idea to the media theoretical framework. Product 1 - The two BillBoard Posters -  I will use short lines containing rhetorical and/or alliteration to create catchy and memorable lines for the poster to make people remember what they have read and what it is that is being advertised. This is important as people will only look at the poster for a very short amount of time so I only have a few seconds to catch someone's attention. One way of doing this is through clever word usage. I will use words, phrases and (conjugations if applicable) to target my audience age range. In order to make sure that the posters are not seen as offensive or “cringy” I will ensure that nothing stereotypical is used in order to keep the poster catchy and rememberable for the right reasons.
