Dispatches

 

DISPATCHES

My blog section features the occasional posts relating to design, branding, sports, history, film, former lives and former wives. Somethings, nothings, meanderings and whatever else strikes me as interesting. Since I grew up in the 60s and 70s, I probably saw it on the TV or heard it on FM radio.

 

Poster Design 1: Wartime Propaganda

war propaganda posters 

The war propaganda poster has been a matter of scholarly studies from a variety of perspectives, including visual arts, history, war and propaganda studies. Although the purpose of poster varied, generally each design involved the recruitment of men to join the army, encouragement of women to enter the workforce, promotion of war bonds and war loans, saving resources and reducing consumption and increasing productivity and collective efforts.
