#MuslimRage

The Muslim Rage image of the Newsweek cover depicts how upset the Muslim community is over the new video that was made in America. This picture captures anger in one mans face, while the other looks as though he’s hurt or being attack. The effect of zooming in on two individuals, as oppose to capturing the entire riot, makes the viewer wanting more to see, or at least know what is going on behind these to men. I actually caught myself wondering what the riot looks like behind these two. This wonder is something very important to gain from your audience because the more they wonder about the picture, the more will they are to reading the article. Another thing that stands out to me is the man’s fist. His fist is raised in the air as to punch anything in front of him. Interesting enough, the man isn’t even paying attention as to what he might hit. This gives us the sense that the rage that is escalating in Islam is out of control, and the riot’s motive is to harm anyone.

 By looking at the picture, you could conclude that the people involved in the riot ranges from many different age groups. The two men in front of the camera are two older look males, while the lighter skinned male behind one of the men has younger looking skin. This shows the viewers that the riot is huge and affects everyone with in that religion. Also, just something interesting, out of all the colors on the color wheel red is a color that stands out the most. Newsweek highlights their title with red to make the title of their magazine grab more viewers’ attention.
