Before the western world corrupted it and turned it into advertising and during the period where the Nazi’s gave it a really bad name, Propaganda flourished. The height of a mass movement, spurred on through well designed, poignant and catchy posters posted around the world.
The causes were varied but at least there was substance. In more recent years, advertising has taken over and has turned a once noble field into a steaming pile of Aye-Aye crap. What happened to brilliant artwork scaring you away from good time girls or a sad puppy telling you to be quiet. Oh and why not push conservation and victory-gardens during this time of war. After 9/11 the US was told to shop… not recycle rubber or scrap metal.
Below is a collection of when Propaganda was at it’s peak; invited to all the cool parties, scoring tonnes of chicks and playing basketball with princes… those were the days.
