Analyzing cartoon

Some of the main visual elements are that it's an octopus grabbing on to all the other countries. This political cartoon is about how the man in the middle by the name of England is taking over all the other countries around the world with his octopus tentacles and taking over. The cartoonist's opinion is he thinks that England is extremely strong and they are trying to take over all the countries so they would be the richest country in the world. It shows that england is very rich because the man in the middle is wearing one of those hats and only people like bachelors wear those types of hats. For making this cartoon more persuasive, he could have made the hands like they were grabbing onto the countries instead of just laying a finger on it. Also to make it better, he could've made the countries names so that we could read them. In terms of CRAP, this cartoonist did a pretty good job. The cartoonist maybe could've made the colors contrast more, so that the picture grabs you. For repetition, it repeats a lot. The colors repeated in the countries and in the tentacles. How the tentacles all branch out from england is repetition also. The cartoonist did a very good job with alignment because there was an equal amount on the left to the right, and on the bottom and top. For proximity, everything related to one another because this cartoon is very straight to the point.
