(What did you think it was going to be? )

Anyone else have any favorite recruiting poster, propaganda or otherwise patriotic/nationalist art that strikes you? (No photoshops, this means you SomethingAwful :p)

Another good one:

Actually, the "GEE! I wish I were a man!" is my favorite propaganda poster. I even made a StarWars version for the Empire, though it is nowhere near as nice as Howard Chandler Christy's.

I made a marker colored version, but I didn't finish it due to lack of demand.

Regarding the posted: I'd work on the writing, for some reason it looks too primative despite the effect you were going for

Here's some more good ones:


Self-explanatory.

Also self-explanatory.

Soviet dirigibles are coming to get you!

A hapless soldier runs from the threat of VD, looming overhead like some movie title gone horribly awry.

I love that army one.

"Be a SHEEP!" Yeah, I want to be one of the lambs to the slaughter.

There's a greasyspoon in Whitechapel that collects WWII memorabilia. This is my absiolute favourite (it's also on the wall in the galley of HMS Belfast)




I think it's a great recruitment poster for women into intelligence

Coincidentally, a someone in LJ-Community I belong to has posted This article on the use of sex in propaganda during the war.

I just read that page. Very interesting.

That's the type of black-ops I'd want to do: dropping pornography.

Interesting. Gives me flashbacks to a book about WW2 propaganda I once read...

Say, how old are those US Army and USMC posters?

That poster with the sheep and the flock. It looks like they're using Monica Lewinsky's face on it

I've always liked this one.

For whatever reason, that Black/Navy poster is killing me. I cannot look at it for longer than three seconds before going into giggles. I think I'll have to use that in my sig.
