Victory Gardens Poster Analysis

In the 20th century, wartime controls that governments enforced onto citizens had a greater impact on the Australian society during World War II of that time than it did in World War I. Government propaganda was more widespread during the Second World War compared to the first and in Australia during World War I, the prime minister of the time, Billy Hughes, ordered that full conscription for men to be enlisted in overseas service through two plebiscites. The changing roles of Women, left an everlasting impact over Australia after WWII since women during the first world war were given jobs such as, nursing, production of weaponry and services that were only offering low wages. However, in WWII, women were offered a greater and wider range of

Some of the more general selling features of this specific poster was that everyone else was doing it. It states that population has increased from 419 512 people to 808 863 people in five years leading to the bandwagon effect. It talks about how people from many countries have already joined the movement to create homesteads in the west and that the first farmers to reach the west would have the first choice at

This memorial is very effective in the way the message and symbols are presented. The memorial emphasizes the United States’ side of the war and how it affected the country. The ways the illustrations are depicted are accurate in a sense that it only shows the effects it had to the U.S through symbolism. The way nationalism is used though the symbols are directly connected to the war and the nationalism that is emphasized in that setting. The layout and design is used to help build that intensifying persuasion. Persuasion can be found in many different ways an in the case of this memorial, it is found through the symbols, layout, and materials used to put the WWII memorial together.

The purpose for the poster was to symbolize that they enjoyed working for the society and used their time, energy, and their lives for it to help the men. During this time of war a bill was

Dread Scott’s very controversial illustration is titled What is the Proper Way to Display a Flag? What better title to stir the people’s ideas and gain their opinions on the correct way to present symbolistic fabric? a.) Many people believe that the American flag should never touch the ground, as it is a sign of disrespect. However, what many Americans don’t seem to know is there technically no rule on how one must display a flag. b.) This piece addressed, not only very important social issue, but a political one as well. As miniscule as they may seem to all the other problems society is facing, they desperately needed to be addressed for American citizens, specifically, to truly consider which values they hold dear to themselves and their

(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.)

Posters are splashy, large-format images, which are accompanied by a short text. Usually, the purposes of the posters are to agitate, advertise, inform, or teach people. Posters from World War I and World War II often used metaphors, different figures, events, and places. During the First World War propaganda posters were enormously widespread. Artists used them to agitate people to conscription, subscriptions to war loans, and aid to the wounded soldiers. One of the most important posters from World War I and World War II is “I Want You for U.S. Army” by James Mantgomery Flagg. This poster is very influential because of its figure, the message, and the effect on the people.

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

During World War Two, propaganda was a way for the government to entice people on one-sided political standpoints. It was used mostly in the form of posters, especially in the United States and Germany. These illustrative displays were all very unique but had similar characteristics. The American propaganda poster, “Liberty” and the German’s, “Sower of Peace” served the same purpose and audience but had very different visual presentations. The American poster depicts soldiers fighting in the Revolutionary War 1778 and in WWII in 1943. Also in the poster waves the original American flag, symbolizing the nation’s freedom from Britain. At the bottom of the poster reads, “Americans will always fight for liberty.” The poster’s meaning is that the United States will not stand by and let other countries control or endanger us, that the people will fight the same as they did during the brutal war in 1778. On the other hand, the German poster illustrates Hitler sowing “seeds of peace.” In the background lies an angel with a trumpet, representing peace and harmony. “The seed of peace, not dragon's teeth” is written on the bottom of the poster in German. Although the two advertisements differed in appearance, they were similar in audience.

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

For my propaganda poster, I chose the slogan “Spark The Resistance” because the poster was meant to say, light dynamites and start a resistance. The image I created is a dynamite lit up with sparks with a British resistance symbol in the background. There are six blue parachutes falling down from the top of the poster; I selected this image because I wanted the encourage people to plant the dynamites and resist the conquerors. The image helps represent the slogan by sparking the dynamites can start the resistance. In addition, I chose to use the colors blue, red, white, and orange; they help develop the message because blue, white, and white represent the resistance of the British powers. Also, orange depicts the sparks of the dynamite. In

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.

The piece I have created is a poster reflecting the three principles for making economic decisions, plus trusting in God’s providence to change the world. I used ink pens and coloured pencils to showcase images reflecting solidarity for the earth and one another. Solidarity means unity, it’s a society standing together for the greater good. In the centre of the poster a group of people are seen consoling one another and showing empathy. Their unity and efforts to help one another reflect the the theme of solidarity. Surrounding this image, are pictures that reflect the three principles for making economic decisions such as promoting human dignity by helping the poor, reflecting that the earth was made for all beings, and caring for the earth

Another major thing you look at when analyzing a poster is its ethos, pathos, and logos. This poster does a good job of appealing to all of these. Its ethos or in other words its credibility is shown in the fine print at the bottom and right above the main title. Above the main title you at the bottom of the poster you see Disney, which is a very credible company that is known for making very good movies that tend to appeal to the modern generation. When you look at the fine print at the very bottom you can make out a few of the actors names and the names of people who helped produce the movie. Most
