EVALUATING VISUAL ELEMENTS ON POSTERS AND BILLBOARDS IN EVOKING EMOTIONAL REACTIONS (A CASE STUDY OF ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTEST)
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Visual communication plays a critical role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support during protest movements. In the context of the EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria, posters and billboards have been utilized extensively to convey messages, rally support, and express public discontent. These visual elements often incorporate specific design strategies to evoke emotional reactions from viewers, influencing their perceptions and actions. The use of visual elements such as images, colors, and text on posters and billboards can significantly impact how messages are received and interpreted by the public. By analyzing these elements, we can gain insights into how they contribute to the emotional and psychological impact of protest communications. The EndBadGovernance protests, driven by widespread dissatisfaction with economic conditions and governance, have seen a surge in visual messaging aimed at highlighting grievances and demanding change. This study focuses on evaluating how the visual elements used in posters and billboards during these protests have evoked emotional responses and influenced public sentiment.
Research Focus: This study aims to analyze the visual elements on posters and billboards used during the EndBadGovernance protests, assessing their effectiveness in eliciting emotional reactions and their impact on public engagement with the protest movement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

The problem addressed by this study is the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the effectiveness of visual strategies in posters and billboards used during the EndBadGovernance protests.
This study seeks to provide insights into how visual elements contribute to the emotional impact of protest messaging and their role in shaping public perception and engagement.
