In this image, I can see a vintage, red , dusty old car. It reminds me of the 1900s. I can also see the big bold writing stating “you don’t need a big one to be happy” This is suggesting that not all branded cars like tesla will make you satisfied. Maybe this image connotes red as a symbolic image for anger , maybe comparing this car to all the other branded cars. It also has a black background emphasising the emptiness and isolation it holds.
