Propaganda Assignment






Description of Propaganda:
What do you see? Is the viewer asked to do anything?
What might this tell you about the home front during World War I?
Propaganda Techniques:
How does the artist try to persuade you to believe or do something?
Here is a silly imitation of a propaganda poster recently created for and intergalactic war.

You are to create a poster something like the ones below!  You need to look back at your notes and readings and decide what you will design to convince people to get involved in some aspect of the war! What emotions, pictures or arguments would convince you to act?  Google has loads of these images to see examples (Type "WWI Propaganda")  
Please create an original poster with images that you find or make.  Please do not simply steal words and pictures from real WWI propaganda!  Use free clip art images, google images, draw/create your own.  Decide what country you are from (can be either an Allied Power or a Central Power) and how you want the people on the home front to respond to the war. Some things to consider: How do you want the home front to view the enemy? How do you want the home front to contribute to the war effort? What techniques will you use to persuade the home front?
