There are many links in my propaganda poster to the propaganda used in WW2 England and Germany. Something that I found in my essay that I found important to include in my own propaganda was a memorable slogan, propaganda's purpose is to put across a strong message. The statements tell you what is expected and what you must follow and never seem like an opinion. Thats why I made my states 'Syrian Refugees Welcome' and 'Everyone deserves a home' as if they are true facts, when it is known that everyone in the UK does not believe in this or want them in the UK. WW2 Propaganda could also be controversial in its purpose, this was something I targeted when showing the Niqab and the girl behind it. This meant that my poster was not just showing immigration but about the UK's problem with muslim headwear.
Something else that stood out in WW2 propaganda was the use of people on the posters usually of leaders, soldiers or more interestingly Aryan Children. I decided to use the image of a muslim to mirror how Germans used the image of a perfect Aryan child. This is how I used my essay and research into WW2 propaganda to inform my design choices on a modern day propaganda poster for a modern day cause.
