Media Literacy: Decontsucting Two Arnolds

This magazine cover was an advertisement for political purposes.
It was part of Arnold's campaign for governor of California. Look at how he is pointing at us as if to say "Thanks for your vote, you fine American citizen!" There is a woman in a small bubble next to him looking rather revealing. It is captioned "A Salute to our British Allies." I'm not sure how that is relevant to the magazine. Anywho, I also noticed how the lighting looks on the cover. It is on Arnold's face trying to make him look important as the center of the magazine. Also, the bold, red text that spells Arnold's name is a tactic to catch the reader's eye because it stands out so well.
