Propagana research one.

"Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself or one's group." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

Propaganda comes down to one nation creating advertisementsthat a biased towards the views of the nation. For example, in world one two, the propaganda was all about keeping quite, incase German spys are around, or helping the war effort by farming. It works by either making the audience proud to be apart of it, or afraid of the enemy forces. These feelings bring up biased opinions against the country, or group that is being advertised as bad.

Propaganda posters have been in play since 1915, during the first world war. This particular one (left) shows Kaiser Wilhelm taking a bite into the earth. This works, because the French citizens would see this, and start to think that yes, the Germans are only out to destroy the earth. 

"Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist." - Garth Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell






 Not all propaganda style pieces come from war. This is a cover for George Orwell's "1984". The book coined the term, "Big brother is watching you" and this is the sort of thing i feel i want to produce at the end of this project. I feel as though propaganda is all about fear, and i want to recreate this fear, but in a way that is relevent to modern internet websites. I like this style of drawing, because it is mainly shapes that imply something, which s effective, because it lets the audience use their imagination when viewing the poster. I think I'm going to research more about this style for my final product.
