This is my thought on what the model we were given truly shows
This model has a few good characteristics and a few that aren’t very helpful at all. The first thing to do is analyze the model. After looking at it for a moment the first thing noticed is that the pictures are realistic but they aren’t a good representation of the items that they are portraying. The colors are very eye catching but the print isn’t in a color that matches the other colors in the model, the alignment of the words can be very annoying because in the green one it is centered but the others it is left aligned. Just having this difference in the type makes the model annoying. Plus it makes the amount of chicken eaten per second stand out. The pictures can be either good or bad. The Big Mac doesn’t look very appetizing but the KFC looks just like the actual bucket. The hot dog looks like what anyone would expect from a hot dog but using the baby chick to take the place where 8 billion chickens are raised for food and 127 are eaten per second in America makes it seem like a bad thing to eat, the KFC bucket makes it seem so good until you see that baby chick. This model could potentially make people decide that it’s better to be a vegetarian than to eat baby animals.
