Propaganda

In this Seminar we were presented with a few propaganda posters and asked how they affected us and our judgement of them and the situation they portraied.


 How does the example from the magazine play on the viewer’s emotions to achieve its effects? Consider both its content and stylistic approach. 

Just by seeing the expression on the man's face, it noticable his concern and seriousness as he tries to respond to his daughter. Family is very important during these post-war times, and this poster depics it in a way that almost blackmails the viewer to take action and support war based establishments.




How does the example provided depict women/men? How is gender used in this example to sell a product? Again, consider both style and content. 

Post-war ideologies where extremely male oriented, and just by reading the slogan, we understand how women where treated and viewed as people that tended to the family and that had very little say in other matters.
