had to make a propaganda poster about the military. We decided that we wanted to design a poster that included symbols and other words connecting to fighting for your own country.

Some images provided was one of them being an American flag. We chose this because we used the military in our poster and…

In 1919, El Lissitzky would create one of his most successful propaganda posters. Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge was a major breakthrough that showcases El Lissitzky’s new ideas on constructivism. This poster was produced in the same year that Lissitzky would paint his first Proun. He had a fascination with type that led him to the idea of combining the geometry of the Proun with typography. (6. Pg.254) However, it’s important to note that this work is actually not considered to be, or…

Many of the propaganda posters of World War One have symbolism to persuade the viewers to be a participant in the war.

We can presume that the snake is the Alliances and the eight symbolizes the war bond that the Germans were merchandising at that time. You can see that the arrows are piercing the serpent, which symbolizes that the money that is put in the war bond will support…

The only sound in the world is the one of waves crashing against the hot sand. The only smell is one of salt in the air. You feel the hot sensation of your skin under the blazing sun. This heavenly scene stresses emotion, nature, and a simple lifestyle. Those are three emphases of Romanticism, a powerful theme that values the natural world above reason and logic. In Romantic works, trees, mountains, and lakes are not only commonly seen, but have a restorative power on the soul. Romanticism,…

I attended the PLAKAT: Poster Art from Poland exhibition in the Martha Gault Art Gallery located on campus. The posters were loaned from the University Museum at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Poster art was developed internationally from the Polish Poster School after the late 1950’s. The posters were not abstract nor non-representational; each had recognizable images, such as people or objects found throughout the world. These posters were all created for the same purpose of representing…

appear to be using dehortatio to sway the audience, providing dissuasive advice in relation to inadequate behavior displayed in the library. The message is further insinuated by posters providing step-to-step directions on “how to reserve a study room,” situated above the self-checkout and outside of study rooms. These posters serve as illustrations of logical appeal as coordinators used plausible reasoning for the preservation of a peaceful environment offering directions on how to reserve the…

“Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth used rhetorical strategies very effectively. Truth used rhetorical strategies effectively because her tone, text structure, figurative language, and the rhetorical devices she used let the audience know what she was feeling and why she was fighting for was she was fighting for.
