Using Manga Styled Art To Sell An Image


The root of multiple facepalms

This is definitely not the most suitable image to sell the image of an Infocomm Security Management course. Just look at the image. Does any part of it even emit the vibes of something related to Infocomm? I doubt so. This reminds me of how some people simply love including irrelevant clip art images into their Powerpoint presentation slides.

Apparently, this board was put up for the parent forum event. I haven’t got the simplest clue as to why they chose this. A classmate joked that they decided to use a 2D girl to attract more guys into the course. If so, they should be using 2D bishonens instead. The male-female ratio is horrible as it is already…

I have no idea who made the decision to put this up in the lab, but it’s dumb. The image used should have been somewhat related to IT, or even hacking, even though we don’t do anything much beyond what a regular script kiddie would do.

A “Bloody Monday”-vibed mascot would be far more suitable that some lame manga styled female drawing that doesn’t even fit in.

    I think what they may have been trying to do is attract more *girls* into the course; the picture maybe is supposed to be a female student?

    Zatheal I think the breasts sort of guaranty that the image is that of a girl. Also pictures of girls do not attract girls.
    It was likely just some enthusiastic student that designed the poster, who just liked the image.

    “Also pictures of girls do not attract girls.”

    Not even Lesbians?

    Maybe they are trying to get otaku to join the course?

    Maybe a passerby will think “This is relevant to my interests”
