A A picture speaks a thousand words. In the photo,“The Navy Needs You” the message impacted deeper than just the words, I believe it was the most effective because of the message it conveys. Artist use tools to express ideas through colors, images, and words. The wording used in posters for influential purposes is essential. “The Navy Needs You” uses the words “Don't read American history-make it!” With those words it asks readers to come forward and make history by joining the navy and fighting for our country. It also says don't just read it, it's asking our countrymen to not sit and read and discuss the war, but to be the ones being read about. The words used are very import, but so are other aspects of the poster. Colors are used to bring life to objects, and in the poster it brings the feeling of freedom. The …show more content…
This poster is full of references to the Lusitania, from the smoke in the background to the man reading a newspaper mostly likely about the sinking, but there is a ray of light as the angel of Columbia looking over them as all this is happening. The images represented there are used to make men want to join the navy, you even see a naval officer speaking to the man in black. This is probably the most influential poster because of the combination of elements. Some people may believe “If I Fail He Dies” is the most influential for the fact of appealing to women. Others may believe “Will You Fight Now” is the most persuading for depicting what America would be like if no one was willing to fight. And a select group could believe “Food Will Win The War” is most influential for bringing forth a spirit of giving, but none of these represent the American spirit that “The Navy Needs You” represents. I believe the patriotism “ The Navy Needs You” conveys is incontestable and most effective in bringing support to the
It also represented that this a new day and the world will rebuild. This picture promises that we will stand together and build from the bottom. The location of this image plays the major role on the overall message. The deeper meaning is clear once looking a little
One thing that stands out is the author’s approach to the betterment of the community. Aside from trying to recruit individuals into the service, I believe he might also acknowledge Grossman for what he’s doing to the homeless citizens of Los Angeles. We can assume the author appreciates creating a better and easier life for people. Most importantly, however, it is agreeable to say that the article implies that the military is what the author remarkably values. I feel this way because in all corners of the article, it is touched upon. For example, the author prints, “The qualities you acquire while in the military are qualities that stay with you forever,” and “Today’s Military: See it for what it really is.” Additionally, he informs us that Grossman has been featured in magazines highlighting those who have served in the U.S. Military. He’s complimented the military multiple times in his work. I believe he also wishes to expose some admirable things about the military and shine light to it, in hopes of gaining followers and supporters for the
Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other
World War II propaganda posters were used mainly for three reasons: to invoke public sympathy for the war cause, to help finance the war, and by encouraging people to support the war. Many t...
This essay seeks to explore whether the American Legion’s charter should be amended so as to better reflect our nation’s appreciation for those who serve in times of war and peace. Indeed, it is an issue made all the more cogent today: With increasing numbers of young Americans rejecting the armed forces as a career option, recruitment goals are not being met and the military is being forced to lower its entrance requirements. If this trend is not soon reversed, the U.S. military could be perceived as incapable of implementing our nation’s strategic policies abroad -- a perception that can only encourage the most aggressive ambitions of other nations.
The poster I have chosen contains a young woman holding a gun with a red bandage covering her eyes and mouth and behind her, on the wall is an American Flag painted on with dripping textures. On the American Flag there is a quote which reads, "We kill people who kill people because killing
Patrick Henry utilizes logos, repetition and allusions to convince his audience that they should engage in war in his “Speech in the Virginia Convention”.
Here we have a picture of a “Christy Girl” dressed in a United States Navy uniform with a sailors hat on her head. She exemplifies grace and charm as she says “Gee! I wish I were A MAN I’d Join the NAVY!” In this cartoon she is saying that by joining the Navy you will be considered a man. This war poster is aimed at young boys. The government was trying to get anyone they could for the war effort and around this time younger and younger men were enlisting in the armed forces. Because the “Christy Girl” was so highly looked upon for her strong American values, having her grace the front of a war poster would perhaps encourage people who had not previously thought about enlisting to then do so. A female figure is wearing a traditionally male outfit. At this time Navy sailors were thought of as being men. Having a Christy Girl wear a Navy Uniform was a good way to get the young men’s attentions. Patriotism is not really being appealed to in this poster. Surprisingly enough this poster shows no flag or any other symbol conventionally thought of as being “patriotic.” Most war posters are customarily thought of as being similar to the “Uncle Sam Wants You!” poster with red, white and blue splashed all over the paper.
But what makes it so special is the simplicity of the image. The lines and shapes used within this piece of art represents and shapes the overall photo, President Barack Obama. If you take a quick glance at this piece of art the first colors that immediately comes to mind are Red, White and Blue. But if you look closely you’ll notice the colors are red, beige, blue and black. I must say I think the style of the image would be abstract and representational because this figure represents Obama, America, and the support of the Presidents campaign. The principles of the design include the unity of the colors coming together and balancing out. Another thing I noticed about the colors that the analysis did not talk about in detail was the dark red on one half of the poster and the soft blue on the other. These color choices seem to show that Obama can be very stern and commanding if he needs to be, but is also very sincere and caring towards others (Badia, Jessica. "“HOPE” Poster Analysis."

Superb pathos are used in this case. In this poster, Uncle Sam is very effective in displaying emotions in this poster. Uncle Sam attracts great emotions due to the fact that he is pointing at someone and saying “I want you”. When he uses the word you, he is able to establish emotions to any person who sees this post. Additionally, the use the flag is very effective since it ensures that it specifies on the audience being addressed. In this case, the audience is anyone in the United States of America. The poster was effective since it affected individuals. In the poster there is a person who is called Uncle Sam looking like an American flag, and ordering you to join the army. This can be seen through his facial expression and the fact that he is pointing. The colors are also effective since in the United States, they mean pride and

The Polish poster movement is pretty downplayed in art and graphic design history, but this is not a reflection on its importance. Characterized by stylistic variation and the integration of image and text, poster art played a major role in Polish graphic design, and an even greater role to graphic design and illustration as a whole. Especially in contemporary design, we have seen a sort of reemergence with the aesthetic qualities of Polish poster art.
When initially analyzing the Tangled advertisement, I noticed that colors are a dominating feature in this poster: bold colors featured in the setting, chameleon, and on the female present, more neutral/natural colors on the male and the horse. For the environment, there are multiple shades of bold greens surrounding the edges of the poster and separating

The “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster is a simple yet compelling image. It has a bold attracting color and only consists of five words and an image of a crown on top. It has a deeper meaning than just the five words it includes. It can be influential in so many different ways to many people. There are a couple of reasons as to why I chose this image due to its message and background information. It has a direct approach and says what it means but still makes you think about what the artist is trying to portray.
