Questions?
• What is the first thing that
catches your eye when
you look at the picture?
• Why do you think that a
child is used?
• Why do you think there is
so little color used?
• What do the words mean
to you?
Audience
• The audience of this
picture is anyone that is
interested in music. If you
are in a music store, you
could easily see this. This
could also be seen in a
Christian book store.
Point of View
• Since there is a child in the
picture, it seems that this
message is coming from a
child’s point of view. He is
looking over a big city
trying to deliver a
message.
Symbolism
• The megaphone is a symbol. It
symbolizes the voices of all the
people trying to tell people
about Jesus.
• I think the city in the
background is also a symbol. It
symbolizes the entire world
and the shape its in.
• I think the child symbolizes
hope because through him
there is hope that the world will
listen and change.
Focus
• The main focus is the
child. The child is trying to
help the whole world. He
has his megaphone and is
ready to spread the word
about God. He is
overlooking the city that
needs his help.
Pathos
• I believe this is pathos-an
emotional appeal- because
when I look at this, I feel sorry
for the little boy. You can tell he
is getting tired of trying to help
the world because he has put
his megaphone down.
However, he hasn’t given up.
He is still out there and trying.
It also gives you hope when
there are people out there
willing to try this hard for
something they believe in.
Questions?
• Why do you think the
background is a big city
scene instead of a small
town or country scene?
• Why do you think the
words, “Until the Whole
World Hears” is so small?
Font
•
Until the Whole World Hears–
•
I think it is done in a smaller
font because the whole world
isn’t hearing yet. The
message hasn’t got out to
everyone yet.
Casting Crowns–
The “t” is done in a cross
shape to show that the band
is a Christian band. It is a
symbol for their faith.
Color
• Little color is used in this
picture. I think they did this
because they are trying to
show you how dull life is
without God in it. They are
trying to show that God is what
brings the color into our life.
The world is going to stay dull
until the whole world hears
about God and they are going
to keep singing until the whole
world does hear.
