    Men saw it as their patriotic duty to enlist in the war effort and to fight in the First Great War. Within days men from all over Britain joined under Kitchener to form the New Armies.

    In this particular presidential campaign poster in 1916, the type of propaganda is glittering generalization. It is using language associated with values and beliefs deeply held by the audience without providing supporting information or reason. I do not agree with the message because, even though President Wilson tried to keep the United States neutral during WWI, however he ultimately called on congress to declare war on Germany in 1917. It is not effective because, one year later after it was made a war was declared.…

    One popular event many artists used for their motivation, was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, as the event “... made people angry because it was a civilian ship…”, killing many innocent people (How was information was shared). The British relied on more of the artistic side and effective slogans to make it happen, showing “posters… printed that made the army look exciting”, to get men into their smaller army (How was information shared?). A shady tactic that got used by the British was to tell “stories about the bad things the Germans had done”, which put resentment into citizens and motivated action, including enlistment (How information was shared?). Also, the poster appealed to a sense of national honor and aimed to make the men that did not take action and join to feel a sense of guilt. The artists used the element of pathos to convey to a man’s feelings and interpret “their children would be embarrassed if their father had done nothing in the war” (How was information shared?). In the end, Great Britain needed lot of soldiers and people to work together, as just an element of human…

    Designers of all political parties, not just the Left, are capable of encouraging positive and negative change in the world. Graphic Designers, Cartoonists, and the Mainstream Media, are all aware of how impactful a strong emotional response can be, especially before a political event or poll takes place. Designers and Cartoonists draw inspiration from the media and social issues and incorporate them into their work. It is especially important that designers conduct more research than necessary to verify news sources and to keep in mind the potential political bias of the news source they get their information from. A picture is not exactly truthful these days and it is important to understand that the media can easily turn a picture into something it is not. Designers should take caution in developing political campaigns that use media stories and images to create more…
