Transmitting the Incorrect Message
Despite the fact that this designer may have wanted to communicate a positive message, the final product fell short of being as inspiring as the designer had hoped. Imagine a person laughing because he is affected by cancer and cannot be cured. This sort of design would often mislead the public.
Rather than providing us with a sense of optimism, this just adds to our confusion and borders on insensitivity. The caption indicates this is a serious subject: someone battling cancer. However, the image’s joyful lady appears to conflict with the content’s solemn tone that makes the viewer question the intent behind.
