Wake up, America! - World War I propaganda posters

Wake up, America! - World War I propaganda posters | Human Interest | Scoop.it

The Wilson administration had to "sell" the war to America. Think back to the debate that existed between those motivated by heritage/sympathy & economic reasons against pacifists, socialists, and immigrants.

How do you change people's minds? PROPAGANDA!

Appeal to the senses of the masses and see what you can impact!

Things to Ponder:

1) Who is the target audience of these posters?

2) What positive messages do they describe?

3) What negative messages do they describe?

4) Do they appeal to women and men in the same ways?

5) Are there any common themes throughout?

An interesting website with some primary source materials. It is a little US/Eurocentric.

Ghosts of war: Artist superimposes World War II photographs on to modern pictures of the same street scenes

The remarkable pictures show scenes from France today with atmospheric photographs taken in the same place during the war superimposed on top.

A mashup of WWII era photography against the modern day reality.
