on a person’s health.

9. Concepts
Physical Appearance
First impression
Visual preference
Self perception
 Verbal Messages

10. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
 The contrasting physical appearance is
used to distinguish the lungs of the two
types; smokers and non-smokers.
 The smoker’s lung is depicted as the
dirtier, more damaged-looking lung
whereas the non-smoker’s lung is
depicted as bright, clean ad healthy.
 Non-verbal communication is used in this
context to provide a visual form to
communicate the differences between
the two lifestyles.

11. FIRST IMPRESSION
The first scene that strikes the
viewer’s eye is the contrasting
condition between the two
lungs.
Viewers are disgusted by the
lung on the left, as opposed to
the healthy lung on the right.
Through the slogan, viewers then
realize these are lungs belonging
to two different people, the
smoker and the non-smoker.

12. VERBAL COMMUNICATION
The slogan sends the message,
while the visual of the deteriorated
lung reinforces it in the viewer’s
mind.
Forces smokers to re-evaluate their
habits by reminding them about
the effects of smoking that they
cannot see (“healthy on the
outside, but not inside”).

13. VISUAL PREFERENCE
The first response of the viewer
toward the mural is disgust toward
the smoker’s lung, preferring the
healthier looking non-smoker’s
lung.
The visual preference of the viewer
towards the healthy lung
discourages the viewer to smoke,
wanting to relate to the image of
their healthy, non-smoker’s lung.

14. SELF-PERCEPTION
The image of the smoker’s lung makes the
viewer (especially smokers) reflect on their
habits, giving them a glimpse of what could
be happening to their lungs that they
cannot see.
Smokers in particular are alerted to the fact
that while they may look and feel healthy,
the real effects are the ones that they
cannot see.
This self-reflection encourages smokers to
stop smoking.
