German Ape Poster

The second type of poster was the "Victory" poster. In this type of poster, the United States flag and a solider in uniform were shown to give off a patriotic feeling and accompanied by words such as " America, Now and Forever". These posters also used symbols such as Uncle Sam, the American Eagle, and most of all the Stars and Stripes. The third type of posters, "Careless Talk" posters, were in contrast to "Victory" posters. These posters were designed to keep Americans from talking about the war. Talking may seem as harmless, however American authorities feared that spies would overhear American plans of attack and would relay this information to Axis powers. Although not using nation symbols, symbols such as were death, such as a paratrooper and others with cemetery crosses. These posters commonly used the cause-and-effect idea. An example of this is represented in a poster showing a spaniel gazing over his dead owner's naval collar with the words "...because someone talked" underneath. According to Photoworld, "Because someone talked, the spaniel has lost his master, and it conveys a sense of loss." By perceiving this sense of loss, Americans would give their sympathy to the war and to the men and women who were fighting. To attract public compassion for

In the early 20th century, the United States found itself on the brink of entering World War I, following repeated German attacks against maritime vessels traveling near England and France. President Wilson originally known as the peace candidate, soon found himself asking Congress for a Declaration of War against Germany and moved quickly to engage the emotion of the American people and organize war production by forming the Committee on Public Information (CPI) as a means of publicizing the war (Devine 794). Frederick Strothmann, a cartoonist of the era, created the poster “Beat back the Hun with Liberty Bonds” for the Treasury Department as one of many effective propaganda tools used to promote the war and mobilize hatred against the enemy.

Imagery uses color as well that is eye catching to anybody. For instance, in a poster with a large British solider, this shows that they are powerful and should be looked up to. Below the solider are hardworking citizens which do work and this helps aid to the solider to grow. Additionally, there is another poster that states "Woman of Britain" and has a picture of a factory worker standing right under war planes. It is stating that they have the power to aid with the war by working. Overall, imagery is a necessary part of posters and propaganda to persuade an audience.

The "England Expects National Service" poster branches out to every citizen in the Nation to help strengthen the war effort. The large statue of the soldier shows immense pride for the Nation and it persuades those to join the Navy to fufill the expectations of the government. The techniques used in this poster are "bandwagon" and "plain folks". In addition, the use of painting everyday people below the soldier shows that anyone could join and takes more than just one courageous person to make a difference. This poster shows pride for one's country and is very effective at illustrating the fact that ANYONE can help.

(Just as a side note, I had pictures of the posters in the original paper but couldn 't transfer them to here. The first link in the bibliography has tons of WW1 propaganda posters you can use.)

The artist’s overall message portrayed in the poster is ultranationalism. For instance, the poster depicts a clenched fist symbolizing unity, strength and defiance. Furthermore it conveys feelings of bondage to the Germans who are viewing it because of the chain. As a result of these two images which overshadow the factory in the background, a desire to free the Germans from the Dews plan grows within the hearts of the

Firstly the man on the left looks very healthy. His posture makes him appear strong,powerful and proud. The man on the left also appears to be blonde which represents how the germans believed the Aryan race was superior.The man appears to be in the german military and by his facial expression looks like he is very happy. He is also holding the Nazi flag which represents how he is proud to serve in war. At the bottom it says “ German students fight for the fuhrer and people”. Fuhrer means a ruthless leader. I believe this means he is honored to serve in war and to fight and protect his people. The poster on the left is aimed at German men to fight in war and honor your country. On the right there appears to be a man who looks very scary and has the star of David on him which means he is a jew. In front of the man are the British,soviet union and American Flag.I believe the man represents Hitler and Nazi beliefs and ideals. . It appears as if the man is hiding behind the flags. Since these two posters are side by side and the German man looks powerful, I believe this represents how the jews are cowards who rely on other countries for protection. At the bottom of the right side it says,” Behind Enemy powers;The jew”. This indicates how the jews are to blame for germany having enemies. This also represents how the germans believed they lost the first world war to the allies because of the jews or that they believe the jews control the allies. This could also represent how they believed the jews provoke war. I believe this source was aimed at germans to convince them that the jews are harm to their nation and are the cause of their past sufferings. Through these propaganda posters, Hitler convinced the german people and promoted anti jewish hate. He gained the people's support through this and his violent movement

Source three is an Australian propaganda poster created for World War One, which is attempting to recruit soldiers, and especially sportsmen, to replenish the front lines for the war going on in Europe. The main idea of the source contemplates the idea of uniting as a political and military power to stop the rebel forces, over the ability of healthy Australian men playing sports, and not protecting their country's freedom. In the forefront of the photo, we see an image of Victoria Cross recipient and Australian soldier, Lieutenant Albert Jacka. This image serves both as an inspiration and a sign of hope for the people of Australia. The people of Australia view Jacka as a war hero, and the picture of him may have acted as a means of enthralling

A poster that really surprized me because of the message was “This is the Enemy” by Barbra Marks. This poster was made in 1943 during World War 2. When I first saw this poster I didnt see it as violent because it looked like a red blur since the main color was red with black accents. The poster shows a nazi’s hand stabbing a bible with the words “This is the Enemy” Underneth it. I didn’t understand the message this poster and I thought it could have more than one message. I think that ithe poster is obiously showing that the nazis are the enemy because they are destroying pure and good things such as the bible in the poster. Although I also think that this could be blaming religion for currupting and sparating people and that this is the cause

These sentiments could be seen across the country, and in worse cases citizens acted upon these notions. As Farwell recalled, “Those bearing German names were often molested, and in places lynched.” Because of this those bearing German names changed them and several towns did as well. These views were commonly rooted in the belief that the German immigrants were spies, which was a nearly identical assumption the Young Turks made against their Armenian demographic. Nevertheless, these beliefs would dominate the American public throughout the war, and one cannot help but to theorize that the excessive propaganda and government intervention caused some of these biases to formulate in a small town like Tulsa. As it would be difficult not to want to defend one’s country if the enemy being presented is of a barbaric gorilla rapaciously clutching onto a woman that symbolizes the Statue of Liberty. Even those who were illiterate in Tulsa would be able to discern from this poster that the enemy they were facing was not to be shown mercy or sympathy. Which in turn potentially caused perceptions of German Americans to be hyperbolized and soured. No person of German heritage was thought. Even the renowned brewmaster Adolphus

offices, shops, public houses etc. The posters were in portrait format and in colours on a white background, and the images were rather small in overall picture plane. The humour was quick, and the wide margin and red border gave the image the space to be noticed. Bird's work, especially the 'Careless Talk' posters were widely appreciated both during and after the war (figures.3.7-3.15). Contrary to the British, humour was never used in anti-spy posters in Germany.

The man on the left side of the poster who is wearing a cap is a soldier. While the other male individual is a citizen. The two men in the poster represent the soldiers and farmers while the fence represents the sea between them. Furthermore, the fence also shows that the soldiers are also separated from the civilians and from home to fight the war. The garden also ended up being called Victory Garden showing that the vegetation that is grown by the civilian demonstrates that he is growing the basic necessities that the soldiers need when they are fighting the

From a man that was once a symbol of patriotism and bravery, now seen with bitterness and displeasure. The image has been parodied in political cartoons all over the internet, mostly mocking the government. Even though all the parodies, Uncle Sam still represents a powerful symbol for the American government and we see many people dressed up like him for the fourth of July parades. The posters that were made for the world war, became very wanted by collectors. The posters were cheap to print so for the collectors it is very inexpensive, the poster designs are very powerful, bright in colors and historical

When walking into a movie theatre or a small cinema the initial thing to hit a person’s senses is the smell of the buttery golden popcorn. Next, people generally glance around the room, letting their eyes follow through the full circle of scoping out a space. Theatres generally play numerous movies at once so of course they have different advertisements for each of the different movies that are played. The posters that the film creators and visual designers create are, tremendously important to the movie’s success in the cinemas and popularity it has in the common public. Naturally, only the most prestige movie posters make it into the movie poster hall of fame and I believe that the Wizard of Oz poster should be included with the many other posters. These posters help to preview the characters, setting, mood, and overall feel of the movie before watching the flick. Ordinarily, good movie posters should create interest for the viewers leading them to want to watch the movie and draw people in using typography, colors, facial expressions, symbols, and people’s personal interpretations. Therefore, the Wizard of Oz movie poster accomplishes making it a perfect poster to be initiated into the movie poster hall of fame.

The poster used to promote the movie “White Chicks”, stars the two main protagonists of the film, the Wayans brothers. Due to the subtle nature of the creator’s design choices, the average viewer may not pick up on the many intricacies that may very well affect the viewer’s perception of the poster. At first glance, the poster is able to summarily explain the plot of the story to the viewer of the poster. Clearly shown, the protagonists are black undercover cops who will undergo a transformation into two white women in the film. The design of the poster forces one’s eyes to view the badges that each of the “girls” is holding. Most likely, the designer wanted the premise of the movie to be given away to anyone viewing the poster. Therefore, making the decision to put the badges in the “front” of the poster along with the “girls”gives a clear main focus of the film.
