Footprint of Africa

C.R.A.P. was shown well in this cartoon, first of all the way the person used white and black to use deep contrast. Second of all the cartoonist kept it simple so the story of the image was clear. this cartoonist used alignment and proximity well by making the shoe in the middle of Africa and having a balance of imagery on both sides.
This cartoon is clearly about imperialism in Africa and how the Europeans cam and took all of the good things in Africa and left it with nothing (leaving it with no color). The cartoonist thinks that imperialism made Africa a dull continent for a while and made it have no more resources or unique culture. The fact that inside the shoe print there is dust and an empty dry plain suggests that all of Africa's resources have been taken away by the British and that the British took the joy away from the British people because the picture is black and white. To make the cartoon more persuasive the cartoonist could have drawn the person that left the destruction in African leaving, it could have added more understanding.
