 Image result for water aid advert

the denotations are the fact that the boy does not look really enthusiastic. he looks serious yet ,pleading. staring at the camera, with a rocky background while sitting on a chair. The background is slightly blurred. 

This can connote that he is poor or unable to afford correct and proper hygiene. The blurred background can perhaps connote that they want the audience to focus on the kids and not the surrounding

The slogan "Dig toilets not graves" can show that people want less graves to be made and more areas of hygiene to be made in replace of it. Perhaps to lower yearly death rates and increase hygiene rates.

In this advert for WaterAid, The slogan "Dig toilets not graves", connotes that people are dying due to dirty and unhygienic water and surroundings. The boy connotes innocence and naivety. This is effective because as it allows the consumers to understand the situation and know there are people and kids out there dying to little to no hygiene and lack of nutrients. The use of a child can be seen as a marketing strategy as people are more likely to sympathises with a young child resulting with more income coming in for the charity.
