Abstract

The study aims to detect the appearance of misleading in the design of political posters published via the Internet and to monitor the mechanisms, methods and means used in the process of misleading these posters. The researcher used the descriptive approach to analyze the sample samples, which were represented by a research sample that included (3) models of political posters, to adapt this approach to design research based on descriptions and analysis. The researcher reviewed the results and conclusions of the research, which were: Achieving confusion of turbulent information by employing fabricated content in all models of the current study sample, the use of rhetorical methods and formal metaphors in the expression of meanings in the design of posters (the subject of the research) confirms the existence of an implicit intention to manipulate the consciousness of the recipient by manipulating the meaning and generating imaginary meanings that mislead the recipient. Misleading is an inherent feature of political posters published on the Internet, it is manifested in its designs in multiple ways, means and mechanisms that would achieve misleading goals that contribute to leading public opinion and biasing its tendencies towards a particular political issue or standing against it.
