Save The Wheat For Our Soldiers

The United We Win poster, made in 1943, helped persuade people to join the army. First off, the poster was created by Alexander Liberman, a photographer part of the War Manpower Commission. It was published in Powers of Persuasion: Poster Art from World War II. It is from the National Archives, which means it is a pretty important archive from the history of the United States. The poster persuades the reader by using words, images, and hidden messages inside of it.

One poster encourages support of the war by joining the Air Force with the slogan “Air Defense is Home Defense”. The poster shows the honor of the role with a picture of a family that is enjoying life with airplanes overhead going out to protect the country. Showing just the good part about the honor to serve in the military is effective

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

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 first poster I will talk about is “When you ride alone you ride with Hitler” This Poster was created by American painter Weimer Pursell. This Anti-Nazi advertisement, was nationally distributed by the United States government during WWII. The poster shows a man in a suite riding in a car with a ghost image that represents Adolf Hitler. The purpose of the poster was to encourage carpooling among Americans, so that the United States could conserve gasoline. During WWII gasoline was very important because it was used tanks and aircraft. The U.S government wanted to encourage people to carpool and not waste anymore gasoline then they had already.The second poster I will address is called “Liberators” This Nazi poster was created in 1944. While the Nazi’s believed propaganda as a vital tool in

Finally, we decided to focus on the design and style of the posters, as well as some of the rhetoric appeals used, rather than talking about the topic itself. Thus, we concluded that our main point would be what we considered to be our strongest aspect of the posters, which we determined was the balance between pathos and logos in the posters. By choosing two posters to display data and facts, and two to display emotion-evoking images and messages, we determined that we provided enough variety of information so that an individual that is either interested in the facts of this topic or that is interested in the morality of this topic could be persuaded to pursue more information on this topic, or even heed our call for advocacy. Although we were met with some issues concerning time and a difference in both topic and design choices, we completed the poster series in a manner we were quite satisfied

The poster was a way the government persuaded desolate women to do exactly what they wanted. Although the poster portrayed a sense of mourning and anguish, it convinced the women to emerge from depression and strive for a sense of accomplishment. The fifth poster (refer to Figure 5) is a well-known poster of World War II. It is a picture of “Rosie the Riveter” (a fictional character the government created to help campaign to women wanted in the workforce) flexing her muscle with a serious look on her face. The posters read: “We Can Do It.”

The thought of losing a war when German propaganda was at it's highest point (Nardo) seemed almost impossible. When news arrived to the people of Germany that the army was retreating many people were astonished. A mutual feeling of betrayal was developing fast across Germany and someone needed to pay. Germany had not been united in many years, before World War One it had been part of the Holy Roman Empire but with the collapse of the empire it had been broken into many separate states. Under the Nazi leadership, Germany had felt restored; like the so called ¨golden¨ days when it was a strong militaristic state, such as Prussia, many felt the strong leadership was what Germany had needed, yet almost as fast as the Empire had grown it had

Propaganda advertises a political issue through the means of humor, speech, and cartoons, or any other sources found necessary. Bandwagon or peer pressure is often shown in propaganda. Propaganda is mainly used for politics but can be used for other topics. “By 1918, and the end of of hostilities in the European theater, more than a hundred Americans had lost their lives.” This song talks about the soldiers who fought in the war that passed in 1918” (Miller). This is effective propaganda because of its appeal to emotion (pathos). When we need the lyrics, we could feel the strong emotion of loss of the American soldiers who fought for us. “Take up our quarrel with the face: To you from failing we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high. Of

wartime efforts against Germany and also to get more American citizens involved. Each propaganda poster, that was produced would focus on a specific issue in the war. For example, the United States used posters with the following themes: wartime bonds, women fighting, money and the recruitment of military men. In addition, the United States produced signs that had Uncle Sam’s image on them to add a symbol to represent the United States message towards all the fighting. Uncle Sam’s picture would have represented freedom and the desire to win. The United States out of all the other countries printed the most propaganda posters so their powerful message would

In chapter 7, they use posters to show how they grabbed Americans attention. The core values the posters displayed were to grab the attention of Americans by tell a powerful message and to get the message across the states. The posters would try to get the attention out by using someone or something famous and show people in war with writing on it. This would help get people’s attention and might help them be convinced to join the war somehow. Like joining the arm forces or to buy war bonds to help pay for the war. The second poster I believe is the most affective and sent a message. The massage on it is “Gee! I wish I were a man. I’d join the Navy. Be a man and do it. United States Navy recruiting station.” with a woman on it (Pg. 141). Just

Posters served as a very effective method of mass communication. Posters typically spread messages, promoted causes, or convinced Americans to conserve resources. Of even greater importance was the way posters could influence public opinion or unite people for a common cause. The more the Navy attacks men and devalues them, more will be joining to prove that they are man enough to fight for their country.

For our project my group decided to do “War Propaganda Throughout the Ages”. We chose this topic due to to it's accessibility of including the 18th century. We wanted to include the 18th century to show the progression of war propaganda with each war. Each group member was designated a war. The wars were spread out from the 18th century to the 21st century, in order to cover a broad spectrum of propaganda through each century. Through this each individual could research more in depth concerning the propaganda to their designated war, such as its goal, influence, and sentiment among the general public during the time of the war. The physical aspect of our project was to create 3-D posters. The outcome
