AJR - Check In #3 This picture shows a an advertisement sign by Central Pacific Bank. The languages used in this sign are English and Pidgin with the word “Shaka” in large print while the rest of the English words are in much smaller print. With how large “Shaka” is compared to the rest of the words on the ad, it brings most of the focus to it while the rest of the ad acts as a background filler. The intended audience is anyone capable of speaking English since the ad is placed outside next to a major street
