Hi everyone. Here is the link for my poster.

I chose the " When you ride alone..." poster, because it is one of the images that I really love from WW2. The artist used some strong words in their poster, invoking a sense of fear in the reader. The use of fear is a common element used on both the Allies and the Axis sides. While the Nazis used very overt forms of fear tactics, the United States was more covert about their propaganda techniques. This one uses the sketch of Hitler, which is an interesting visual element because it is so contrary to the color scheme of the rest of the poster.

Looking at the poster I have to agree with you, it does give the sense of fear. It is understandable why people would feel this and they would use this technique to reach people.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great poster. The use of color and point of view is also interesting there. Did you notice that the viewer is looking down on (both literally and figuratively) the driver rather than straight into their eyes. The point is not to identify with the character, but rather to judge him.
