Propaganda Poster

       Ice cream is by far my favorite food, I believe there is never a wrong time to have it. Depending on the flavor it could cover almost all of the food groups on the food pyramid, dairy, sugar, grain, and even fruit. Within my poster the two phrases which any ice cream lover would agree with are "Eat ice cream daily for happiness" and "never settle for just one scoop". When deciding on what I wanted my propaganda to be I was very conflicted. I wanted my poster to convey a cause however I also wanted my poster to represent me. I find WW2 very interesting so I started my search there. Although I find it very interesting I didn't;t feel a connection to the any of the inspirational propaganda posters I was looking at. Eventually I came to the realization that I liked the old times feel to the posters so I decided to look at propaganda posters from different decades. It is then I become every inspired by propaganda posters from the 1950's. Using the idea of the 1950's I decided to make my poster advocating for ice cream. 

    I used two main posters as my inspiration for creating my poster(inspirational photos attached below). I used a combination of each image I found online to create my poster. I used the banana split image from one poster and then I used the idea od the lady eating the ice cream with her hand from the other poster. Using both poster I them crafted my poster to fit the style I wanted to have. To get the 50’s style fonts I used dafont.com unde the style “groovy”. Overall I am very pleased with how my Propaganda Poster came out, it is simplistic enough to get the point across but has enough detail that it does not go unnoticed. In all it took about 4 hours to create this poster. I had a lot of difficulty creating my selfie to gte it to the point where I liked it enough to use in my poster. I really enjoyed created the ice cream and the hand. I would definitely do this project again because I had a lot of fun expressing myself in this way. The only thing I would change about the poster is making it fit the 50’s theme a bit more by adding a grain texture over the entire poster to make it look a little bit for dated. However, overall I really liked how my Eat More Ice Cream Propaganda Poster came out!
