This postcard was promoting the Red Cross as a charity, so the main color was red. They also used a black and white photo of a Red Cross worker embracing a disaster victim. The black and white photo added an emotional appeal to the card, which led recipients to connect on a human level with the charity’s cause. They also featured several ways to get in contact with them to donate, which increased their response.
