Propaganda Poster

This is my recruitment propaganda poster. It depicts two little girls talking together on one side while another girl, Mary, is alone and sad. In the blue text, you can see one of the girls gossiping that Mary's father did not fight in the Great War while the other girl called  Mary's dad as a coward. In the bottom, the line guilts someone into enlisting. The reason while I used a black and white photo was because I wished to create a somber mood in order for the hopelessness of the situation to be conveyed correctly. I used red and bold lettering to make the words "coward" and "enlist now" stand out. In that cause, from a distance, the  poster can be read as "Coward, Coward, enlist now," which will guilt people and make them feel like a coward for not fighting. The simplicity of the colours keep the focus of the reader on the keywords.
