Satire Vision: Picture Pokes That Pop
Writing the Satire
Visual satire paints laughs – poke with pics. Target an image: “Ads fit model – Im a couch now.” Hit the frame – colors, poses: “Poster says slim – Im blob.” Keep it vivid – dull flops. Write: “Sign says open – doors locked.” Cartoons like New Yorker inspire. Start yours: “Pic says sun – rain rules.” Practice turns sights into snickers.
Teaching the Technique
Teach pic jabs with a frame twist. Give “fit ad” – twist: “Fit so real, Im fat!” Show New Yorker gags – vivid, sting. Steps: image, quirk, jab. Assign “sign fail” – spark: “Sign so true, Im lost!” Discuss pop: bright wins. Warn off bland – bold rules. Vision-off: pitch a poke, best pop wins. Pics are shots – teach them to shoot it.
