Throughout modern times, countries and causes have used propaganda posters to stir up (patriotic) support. Take your best shot at a propaganda-style poster. Special rule: Text MAY be added to your image. Expert Editing.

Google CCCP and look at images for some great examples.

I like it, plus it'd be great fun to vote on.

I just googled 'american propaganda' to find a bunch of interesting posters, most of them from WWII.

How about two challenges running side by side Motivational and DE motivational Posters. That way it's less political and can be more funny or inspiring. I tend to lend the belief that every time we have a challenge related to politics people vote more based on their ideology. Either intentionally or subconsciously.

This challenge would be a great deal of fun if we could have an extra flagged rule where
"Posterizing" would be allowed.

We've done that and I'd like to do it again â€Â¦ but it's not in the spirit of what I proposed

I proposed Expert Editing â€Â¦ so posterizing would be fine I think.

excellent idea. Its a perfectly natural fit for some expert editing.

Seems like we need to allow Text to be added as well.

And, indeed, it is now allowed.

this is a great idea for a challenge. this is *not* the same as a motivational poster. this is a new challenge idea and we should do it.

Beyond, non PC, this is typical of the dehumanizing of the enemy that always occurs in wartime, and consistent with how we treated Japanese-Americans at the time.

Indeed, as Posthumous says in a different post:

There are very few of us left who remember, first hand, the World War II years. I am one of them, and even as a child, I can never forget the propaganda posters of that period, nor would I repeat the language in them. Yes, propaganda has become more subtle since that time (arguably). At that time, they were just terrible. Far beyond the dictates of the "war effort".

In my opinion, and I'll take the liberty of speaking for those of us of that era, this is not worthy of emulation or even satire. No, not yet. Wait until we are all safely gone.

The definition of propaganda?
noun
1.
information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

After all the bumpty-bump-bump Artemus was engaging in, I'm surprised he's not leading the cheers now thatr this challenge is a reality. Or is he too busy creating the world's most elaborate Propaganda Poster?
 09/06/2014 10:34:36 AM · #25
He is creating I can just feel it...

Question.. are we allowed to use like clip art for these?
