Propaganda

Before starting to find propaganda images, I started by researching what propaganda was so I could get an idea of what to look for.
"Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself or one's group."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

"information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc."

 In my own words, propaganda posters use very opinionated and biased messages to sway the public to their views. This can be done in either positive or negative lights, such as posters against certain nations or helping raise morale in times of war.

 These are examples of propaganda posters from the 20th century. The first two are recruitment posters for the army. They use persuasive messages such as pointing at the audience and saying that they want them for the army, implying that they should join. The other poster is more of a morale boosting poster for women, showing their strength. The slogan "We Can Do It!" is saying that women together can make a difference.
