Propaganda, Deutschland, and You!






They address apathy, consumerism, and intolerance. I was inspired by the work of Barbera Kruger and by Nazi propaganda and used a combination of their aesthetics (only red, white and black for colors and only the font Fraktur) to achieve the desired effect. As of this post, the black and white photos that will fill the blank, white space have not been taken/added in yet.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as for improving the text compositionally/language-wise or (most importantly) if anyone knows where I can take some photos that would be really apt for any these three concepts. For example, I went to WalMart to take pictures of people buying stuff for the consumerism poster.
thanks!

Oh! And here's the link to the (expansive) Nazi propaganda site:
