○ What is the main objective of the visual text? (Purpose)
The main purpose is to inform people that fishing, creating fires, camping, swimming and hunting are prohibited in that area.
○ Who is the intended audience? (Audience)
The intended audience is the people who are going to that park in Taiwan. It is more likely intended for the locals as the words are written in Chinese before being directly translated into English, hence causing the grammar of the English text to be inaccurate.
○ What is the circumstance leading to the creation of the visual
text? Where, when and how might someone see/ observe the
visual text? (Context)
The sign was created because the owners of the land wanted to protect the natural species in the area, and the overall cleanliness and beauty of the place. Regulations were then created which the visitors and tourist were unaware of. The sign was then created to inform them of what they were not allowed to do in the park.
○ Is the visual text culture specific? (Culture)
No, it is addressed to generally any tourist or local visiting the area, hence the text is in both Chinese and English.
○ Is there anything unusual about the image?
The images use simple and basic icons so that the message is straightforward and clear, allowing people to easily understand and read the sign quickly, without having to stay for a long time trying to understand the pictures.
○ Does the slogan/ text provide any additional useful information
for the readers?
The text reiterates the information on the pictures.
