Billboard ad

The reason that I picked this billboard is because it had spoken to me. The sign is telling me that it is my choice to take care of my heart. I can eat right, exercise, don’t smoke and to see my doctor on a regular basis. If I don’t decide to take care of my heart there are all kinds of diseases out there to catch. You see in my family we all have some kind of heart condition. I have arrhythmia and high blood pressure. My father and two of my sisters had to get shunts put into their arteries for blood flow. So you see I have to take care of my heart for a healthy long life.
The sign is telling people that Austin Hospital is the right hospital for people with a heart condition. They will give them excellent care. Also, in the sign it has a heart that is intertwined with a star that could represent Austin as being the number one in heart surgeries or other heart conditions in their field.
This sign is modality because the sign to me is talking to you about becoming more heart healthy. By the company capitalizing the “C” in choice it is like telling you that now is the time to make the choice and be responsible for the care of your heart. The EKG reading represents a flat line which is on half of the green diagram and a healthy heart beat that is on the other half of the diagram.
I did not really have any problems. I was just trying to find something that would just reach out to me and let me think.
