Studio Brief - Analysing Nazi and Contemporary Political Propaganda

Very modern form of propaganda by Hitler, normally most of Hitlers propaganda post are very traditional Germanic styles as Hitler rejected modern principles. The poster is very simplistic and modern. Hitlers has a serious pose which could communicate a strong leader. Anything to funny may be not be taken serious enough. The chose of black and white is again different to all the previous colourfully propaganda posters by Hitler. However using only B & W should allow the poster to stand out from the rest of the colourful posters.

Type face is modern, The top of the 'i' is unusual but could be a representation of Hitlers moustache showing a down to earth side to him.

This poster is all about glorifying Hitler. From his army behind him, the shin beaming out from the clouds, the eagle flying above, the glorious German landscape and the strong pose of Hitler holding the flag. All these aspects communicate strength, power and a born leader ready to take on anything.

The poster is just image based. The image is a play on the tagline. The image shows the pathway to what could be considered a better Britain. It's modern but the landscape could be better as a better example is of the previous Nazi propaganda poster. Modern typeface to represent a modern Britain. Union Jack to hit the emotional appeal with the patriotic people. Also it's just clarifying that the posters is about the British election as this link may not be clear enough without the appearance of David Cameron.

One of the most famous contemporary propaganda posters of all time. Obamas pose it one of confidence and optimism which could be a link to his countries future. This pose links perfectly with the tagline "Hope" nothing more needs to be said. Hoping for a better dream and hoping for a better America.

The use of a illustrative style is quite different for a modern piece of propaganda and the more favourable choice is realistic imagery. However this style is still contemporary and is setting a new example of modern propaganda and how success it can be.
