1. The purpose of Anthony DiVivo’s poster is to encourage people to get off of their favorite spot on the couch and start living an interactive life instead of watching TV all the time. The illustrations are to emphasise what needs to be done to accomplish this task.
2. The tone is funny and has a humorous tone to it, because the poster is so obnoxiously literal. The words are not necessary, but they add even more emphasis to the point DiVivo is trying to make.
3. Yes, knowing DiVivo’s inspiration comes from an airplane safety card adds to his effectiveness. They both can be understood through the picture without even seeing the words, which allows a greater audience to be able to understand it. The fine print add to its literal humor because it is a action that everyone should already know.
