posters




i love this movie poster because the colors play well together. they are all part of the same color palette but manage to each stand out and be bright and vivid. i am also very found of the muted antique look- i find it captures my attention




i love political posters, especially the ones from communist china and the USSR. A deep tone of red is in almost all political posters and it gives the sense of power and desire. this like most political propaganda is easy for most people to relate to- it is simple, clean, and colorful, catching the eye of any passer by.



the new yorker magazine cover isn't a poster but is seen by millions of people. the images are familiar because the magazine has a certain artistic style, simple uncomplicated and simply pretty. the images usually hold some childish innocence and aesthetic. like a poster the image must be convincing because it need to sell. it is it's own advertising.

all three of these images are powerful and passionate will remaining simple so to me that makes strong propaganda.
