So here were 2 examples of design with rhetoric tropes present in them that I found interesting.
I enjoyed this one's use of pun. They relate the toothbrush's bristles to a tall field, and the dinosaur's neck is another pun of the toothbrush's long reach and arched shape.

The second example uses synecdoche and pun. The trash can itself acts as a visual pun for the eye's pupil. That one eye however, relies on synecdoche, since it represents the eyes of every possible smoker.

In addition to visual pun, the dinosaur ad most predominantly employs hyperbole (not only is the brush huge, then tagline exaggerates a length of time).
