The use of propaganda posters were always interesting to me. The way the message is shown to reach the public is quite fascinating. Some of the messages today would probably be seen as something that is racist and uncalled for such as the "Montgomery Glag" aimed to Japan. The simple use of a single object and text in these posters are always intriguing. When photos are superimposed and combined with graphic elements is defiantly a new technique that has been passed on to generation and generation setting the norm for graphic design. This lesson and past one have been my favorite so far as in poster design. Very inspiring.
