As several kinds of social public affairs come into the fore, public service advertising gets more important. In addition, the theme of the public service advertising differs depending on a country's political, economic, social and cultural characteristics, and there are unique public service advertising operating systems.

Public service advertising is a form of communication activity performed to increase public interest. In order to improve the effectiveness of public service advertising, it is necessary to formulate advertising strategies that can actually induce positive action changes. China has various social problems because of dramatic social changes, which call for implementing public service advertising. This study aims to improve the persuasive effects of Chinese public service advertising by addressing effective communication strategies. In particular, we selected 33 works that use fear appeals from 2016 HuangHe Award-winning posters and analyzed their visual representation of fear appeals. The results suggest that fear appeals are frequently used in safe driving and anti-smoking campaigns. In addition, main colors of these posters were black and white. The main fearful images were often represented in a form of 'fact' and 'factual conception' and in the type of 'picture.' They also have features of implicit association' and 'exaggeration'. This study has a significance in terms of providing theoretical and empirical information to future research on improvement of public service advertising in China.

Metaphors, as an important way to deliver information and convince the audience, have been used in print advertising extensively. This study researches the concept of metaphors and analyses seven Chinese advertisements in which metaphors are used in public service advertising. The nature of metaphors is to express one thing by using another thing. Using metaphors can put some creative ideas into pictures and make the pictures full of visual impact. Then the target audience will pay more attention to the picture and become impressed. When people look at the advertisements using metaphors, they will definitely look up in their existing knowledge to understand the message which the advertisements are delivering. So this makes the advertisements more attractive and the people would be more easily convinced.
