Propaganda for Women

The artist of this poster was Phillip Zec. This poster was a call for British women to join the war effort by working in the munitions factories in December 1941.

This poster shows a woman standing with her arms out, her body language shows a welcoming embrace and that even though there are war tanks to her right and planes flying over head, she is standing tall, strong and fearless.

I think the colour scheme works well for this as the orange and yellow shades in the sky and on the factories give it the fiery feel or war or looks like light coming from a sunset which reflects off the clouds and the buildings.

I think this design has probably inspired a few modern day propaganda photos using the same pose of the woman, maybe this can also inspire and idea for one of my poster's but I'm not sure because I feel it might be a little over used.

 This is a fine art print which is part of a series of Star Wars travel posters, designed by Steve Thomas in 2008. I was thinking about using the design of this poster as a base for one of mine. I think I'm going to stick with promoting Hyping on looking book so I've come up with changing the slogan to something like "Cruise the looks. Hype them on LookBook" And then drawing the woman in the same pose but instead having her wear fashionable and modern clothing and perhaps making the background look like a studio backdrop with lights or perhaps a more natural looking urban scene or outdoor nature scene as the site is not made up of professional models or photographers.

World War I era US poster by James Montgomery Flagg, 1918, lithograph. The woman in the poster is scattering seeds over a ploughed field, this poster urges civilians to grow their own crop to free up the resources for the war effort.

"This poster tells how Herbert Hoover, head of the new U.S. Food Administration, convinced Americans to conserve food during the Great War. Homeowners were urged to sign pledge cards to conserve food. Many observed wheat less Mondays, meatless Tuesdays, and pork less Saturdays."

I think this poster has a good design which i could use to inspire my own, I think the pose of the woman and work with the apect of lookbook im trying to promote, again changing some words in the slogan and little bit of the attire and background.
"Sow the seeds of fashion! Love and hype your own ____ (trends or looks)" Something along those lines.
