The four posters from Aminullah – Zainal were the samples analyzed in this study. Likewise, the data were elaborated descriptively through genre analysis. Furthermore, Barron’s framework (2012) was employed as an instrument to collect the data about rhetorical patterns (RP).  The result of this study revealed that all of the political posters followed the rhetorical pattern of Barron framework.
