Propaganda In WWI part 2

Did the poster sets you reviewed accomplish the goal of the American government during this time frame (WWI) or was more effort needed?

Yes I think the posters that were put in public during this time period were very constructive, most likely increasing the amount of people enlisting, and contributing to the war effort in general. The only drawback is that at this time the poster was no longer the only form of advertising, the radio, and film. So even if people were  tired of th eposters there were still places that coulee played a bigger role in the american propaganda movement.

This first poster from a second set highlights this older woman right in the middle, reaching out to the audience. Alng with this the first thing you see in this is "WOMEN!" showing that the authors intent in this poster was to catch the attention of women, most likely women who have children involved in the war. The purpose of this poster is to evoke women's sense of motherhood in an effort to sell them more liberty bonds, to "help americas sons"
This poster doesn't differ much from the posters in the first set, this still uses the american flag to show patriotism and heavily advertises liberty bonds, with some sort of statement relating to a specific audience

The first thing I notice in this poster in the woman handing out food, and how happy the man on the bottom right is after he received food. The way the author portrays the woman, the way she is dressed, and how she is standing above them gives a feeling of motherhood to her, and makes her look very generous and kind.
The audience trying to be reached is working class people who can donate money to the war effort.
This poster differs from the ones in the first set in that there is less of a specific message, and it is more metaphorical.

The first thing I notice in this poster is that the man in the center is dead from a head injury, and shown in a very bad position. On top of the Serbian flag. The purpose of this poster is to make the viewer feel guilty, or to evoke pretty much any sense of emotion that might get someone to join the war effort. Also the poster says "your help" not americas but directly "You".
the audience trying to be reached in this is pretty much anyone that could aid the war effort.
This is different than the other posters because instead of being patriotic and symbolic, it has nothing to do with america. And is very straight forward.

The first thing I notice in this poster is the words, saying that if you save a loaf of bread a week you could help win the war. It seems like a little bit of  a stretch but the message is still true. the author wanted to reach the audience of people still living in america, the consumer class, the people eating and playing in excess, trying to spread a message of conservation for the sake of the troops.
this poster is different than the first set also because it is less patriotic, and instead of asking you to do something it suggests that you help by doing(eating) less
