Propaganda Posters

Appeal to Fear

These posters use fear to call Americans to action. The one on top shows Hitler and a Japanese man (our enemies during World Wars 1 and 2) in front of a forest fire to sow how a national tragedy leaves us vunerable to attack. In the second posted Hitler promises to have Storm Troopers in the US.

Wes Wilson -Art Nouveau
Most of his posters have very natural shapes and he uses bright colors and a lot of contrast. In many of his posters he uses text to create the feeling of water or fire.
