Context: The purpose of the poster is to highlight the importance of reading and make people aware of the benefits of reading, thus encouraging the people to read more books.

Culture: As our world is transforming into a more electronic one, more people will turn to their mobile devices and search up an answer or an article on the web and read there. The people read less and lesser books. Thus, the importance of reading books and the knowledge you gain needs to be highlighted, and therefore this poster is created.

Message: Reading books is essential, as it sharpens your mind and expands your knowledge.
