WWI Propaganda #2

Article: https://www.loc.gov/collections/world-war-i-posters/about-this-collection/ 

1. The poster sets I reviewed did accomplish the goal of the American government during this time frame because the posters inspired, informed, and persuaded the people of America, and they used vibrant design trends to catch the eyes of people. Also, the poster sets accomplished the goal because they were a major tool for broad dissemination during the war.

Posters I looked at:
 Image result for don't stop saying food propaganda    Image result for food is ammunition don't waste it    Image result for little americans do your bit    Image result for eat less wheat meat sugar and fats propaganda

2. My eye is drawn to the word "don't" because it is written in big letters. It is also at the top of the page, making it the focus of the entire poster. Since it is written in white letters with a blue background, it also stands out and draws the attention of my eye.

My eye is drawn to the basket of fruits and vegetables in the middle of the poster. This is because all of the fruits and vegetables are a bright color, and they're in the middle of the poster. Also, the dark background makes the basket stand out even more, drawing the attention of my eye immediately.

My eye is drawn to the young boy saluting at the top of the page. This is because he is made one of the focal points on the poster. Also, since he is placed on a dark blue background, he stands out even more. Also, the words "Little Americans do your bit" stand out because they are in the middle of the page, they are written in big letters, and they are written in a bright red color.

My eye is drawn to the array of foods at the top of the poster. This is because they are in a large quantity and most are presented in a very bright color, which is why they draw the attention of my eye.

3. I think the artist hoped that people would see this poster and feel persuaded to save their food in order to help the troops. This is because the words "don't stop saving food" take up the entire poster, meaning the artist clearly wanted people to feel inspired to either start saving food or continue saving food.

I think the artist hoped that people would feel a sense of patriotism when looking at this poster, which would persuade them to want to save their food to help the troops. This is because the background of this poster is American soldiers with an American flag and the focal point of the poster is a basket of fruits and vegetables with the phrase "Food is ammunition. Don't waste it." As a result, the artist hoped that people would feel inspired to save their food to help the troops.

I think the artist hoped that young Americans would be persuaded to begin eating less wheat, so they soldiers could have more of it. This is because the main focus of this poster a little boy saluting with the phrase "Little Americans, do your bit." The artist hoped that young kids would see this poster and want to help the troops by eating less wheat.

I think the artist hoped that people would once again feel inspired to help the troops by eating less wheat, meat, sugar, and fats. The artist wanted people to feel the need to eat more of things like fish, poultry, fish, and vegetables. This is because the artist used a lot of words to get this message across rather than using images. He wanted to be straight-forward so that people would get the point that the troops needed more wheat, meat, sugar, and fats.

4. The ideal target for this poster is all people living in America. This is because the main point of this poster is to get people to save their food for troops, which is something that all people in America can do.

The ideal target for this poster is all people living in America. This is because the main point of this poster is that food is just as important as ammunition so it shouldn't be wasted. The artist wants to persuade people to save their food, which is something that all people in America can do.

The ideal target for this poster is young children in America. This is because the poster says "Young Americans, do your bit...Save the wheat for our soldiers." The artist is trying to persuade young Americans to make sure they aren't eating foods in excess that the soldiers need, like wheat.

The ideal target for this poster is all people living in America. This is because the main point of this poster is to get Americans to eat less wheat, meat, sugar, and fats, which are things that the soldiers need overseas. As a result, the artist wants people to feel persuade to eat less of these foods, which is something that all people living in America can do.

5. All of the posters in this set have a common theme of food, and they were made in an effort to make all people living in America not in the war effort feel like they were contributing in some way. On the other hand, the posters in the set that I previously looked at were all created in an attempt to persuade American men to enlist in the war.
