 * 1) If I had to take credit for having designed one of these posters, I would take credit for poster 1. Poster 1 would attract an audience through yellow journalism. The audience attracted thus would be expecting a violent crime. The poster uses the word “rape,” “victim,” and “charges” often and in several news paper clippings to attract negative attention to the play. It is a sad fact of human nature that we are drawn to negativity, however this poster draws and audience to it and expecting the correct subject and content.
 * 2) Fliers would be an effective form of advertisement, especially in towns in which they can be found under every footstep. If they were designed similarly to poster 1, they would be attention grabbing and probably reel in a few customers. Radio and TV ads could appeal to the ‘sad artist’ stereotype. Many would show up. Some would show up just to see a rapist get their due. I certainly would.
