I work at CVS Pharmacy in Hoopeston and this is a
sign that is on our main entrance doors, where it is noticeable for everyone to
see before they enter the store. The purpose of this particular picture is to
inform our customers the dangers of drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.
The main message on here is written in a bold, red text so it is more evident
to our customers what the message is intended to be. It also lets them know
that if you do drink during pregnancy, it can cause birth defects. Doing this
may make the viewer think a little more in depth about the situation and should
make them realize how horrible it can turn out to be. I think this particular
image is somewhat successful in telling its message. It being hung up as soon
as you enter the store was a good idea to make it more noticeable but it is rather
small and could be hung up in multiple spots.
This sign is rather important because alcohol is
abused by many, and many people do not know the serious dangers of alcohol
addiction. In order to make it stronger and more effective, I think it needs to
be a lot more specific rather than just stating it will cause birth defects. It
could even post images along the sides or around it to attract others. Pictures
do a lot more rather than just facts sometimes. In order for more people to
know about the dangers of alcohol addiction, I think hanging signs in the liquor
aisles and by the coolers where they are held at, will also inform people a
little more on it. Once the customers see the sings hung up all over, it would
maybe cause them to second guess what they are doing.
