Focus on a an individual’s unique physical characteristics and exaggerate or distort them!

Analogy

Analogy draws on a rich pool of historical, literary, and

cultural references to create a fantasy setting or situation which

relates in some way to reality. The similarity forces the viewer to think about the situation in a new way.

Words

Cartoons usually have titles or captions, and sometimes they have name tags, balloon

comments or dialogue.

Signs

Road signs, warning signs, informational signs. Abstract + = ÷×≠®™

Facial expressions, gestures, attitude and position of body, also used to convey messages.

They all emphasize ideas and convey emotions.

StereotypesA stereotype is an

oversimplified mental picture of characteristics supposedly shared by many people in a group.

Stereotypes may be unfair and insulting to the group they represent!

Size

Size is frequently used by cartoonists to draw attention to a particular figure in the cartoon or to emphasize status or power.

Shading

Another visual device used by cartoonists is shading. The dark figures represent the ‘bad’ guys, and the light figures the ‘good’ guys. How is shading used here?
