Blog post: propaganda

For this project, we had to create propaganda. We were supposed to use big, bold colors and constructivist themes.

I think I was successful in utilizing bold colors and getting a message across. While someone who is unaware of the controversy surrounding Nestle may not initially understand what the poster is referring to, I think the image is provocative enough that it would encourage such a person to do some research. It introduces the viewer to a potentially new concept and illustrates the contrast between the positive face Nestle puts on and the behind the scenes reality. I believe that satisfies the criteria for successful propaganda.

I could have done more in the constructivist theme. If I were to recreate this image, I would probably use bolder graphics to draw attention to the text in the poster, especially the slogan at the top.
