Footprint Cartoon Analysis

The main visual elements of this cartoon is the black Africa, and the big white foot. The issue is about the Europeans taking control over different parts of Africa. I think the cartoonist thinks that what the Europeans did in their quest to take over Africa was wrong. I think that's why he also portrayed the white foot so big, and also that it takes over most of the Africa because literally, most of Africa was dominated; but not all. I think the main technique the author used was the color contrast, and also the size. Also, when you look at the picture, and see the big white foot, you think that the Africans were 'stepped' on, which pretty much means that they weren't that important to the Europeans and just kicked them around.
