Blog task three term 2 Historic Posters


1939 to 1945
WORLD WAR II: POSTER. Japanese World War II poster of a samurai surrounded by Axis flags attacking Allied ships. this poster was probably used to show the japanese people there greatness and to uplift the peoples spirits and there is great use of red and detail in this poster which would capture attention. i like this a lot because the goal was to show power and strength and i think they nailed it.
if they where to use this poster today i don't think it would make sense because there is no world war against Japan or vice versa.


























Time for Action Remember Pearl Harbour.

Join U.S. Coast Guard Today Artist Unknown Poster (World War II)
this poster was used to motivate the Americans to join in the war after Pearl Harbour.
I really like this poster it has great use of colour and detail and it has a sense of movement. 
I don't think that this poster would be valid today because there is no war on Japan or American waters.








J. M. Flagg's 1917 poster, based on the original British Lord Kitchener poster of three years earlier, was used to recruit soldiers for both World War I and World War II. Flagg used a modified version of his own face for Uncle Sam, and veteran Walter Botts provided the pose. this is one of the most famous posters of all time it was used to make the Americans feel like America needs them. I like this poster its simple clean and strait to the point.
