Hyperbole

Page history last edited by jball 2 yrs ago

Hyperbole (pronounced hi-per-bo-lee) essentially means "extreme exaggeration." There are many examples of visual hyperbole in video game ads of yore since the advertisers typically want to get their point across in the most dramatic way possible.

 This ad is exaggerates by a camel smoking,playing the saxophone and looking cool. This might atract people by making them belive that this camal was ordenery intill it smoked. 

 

Add explicit connection between image and rhetorical device:  In this image, the makers of this video game want viewers to think their game is as powerful and alluring as a god.
