Propaganda Posters
Soviet posters first appeared during the Proletarian Revolution. The posters delivered Communist slogan’s and they called on the workers and peasants to fight for freedom and justice. There were very little newspaper’s so poster’s often replaced the tabloid. Poster’s were easily accessible by everyone and were easy to understand. The workers and farmers are depicted in this poster, they were used to represent Communism and to show that everyone is helping and contributing to the war effort. The poster is being used to sell Communism, by showing how everyone runs the country and helped out.
The Soviet Propaganda was going strong in the mid 20th century and when it came to the space program, the artists managed to create lots of propaganda posters surrounding the space program. The Propaganda was designed to make the Russian people feel proud and to give them a sense of achievement. The person shown here is wearing a worker’s uniform which shows that it wasn’t just the astronaut’s who achieved reaching space, it was everyone. It shows that the workers must work hard and through the use of industry that the Soviet Union will become a powerful Space Age nation.
This is a German Propaganda poster from the 1940’s which is telling the German people about the blackout, it translates to ‘The enemy sees your light’. The skeleton would make people feel scared about being bombed so that they would take part in the blackout.
The United Colors Of Benetton used lots of different controversial posters to advertise their brand and clothing. In this poster they used lots of different religious symbols to show how everyone is equal and the word’s ‘harmony’ show that everyone can live together and be together peacefully. This poster was controversial as their is a lot of violence in the world at the moment and extremists from different religions are claiming to be causing terror for religious reasons.
Digital Destroy
I used Photoshop to destroy my work digitally. I used the clone stamp tool to clone parts of the photo and move them to different places.
Destroying Work
I chose to use Barbara Kruger as she stuck words and headline to show what the photo’s were showing and the meaning behind them. I stuck words around mine that depict a modern day teenagers life, I did this as lots of people can relate to the work and will be able to understand it. I used words such as ‘drugs’ and ‘drink’ as most teenagers have tried these things before therefore can understand why I chose the words.

Alec Soth is a documentary photographer,born 1969,in Minneapolis Minnesota.An American based photographer, Alec document’s the way of life of the odd and strange, he bases his work in the modern Midwest.The way that Alec photographs, produces the feel of a cinematic atmosphere,creating a story behind each image.New york times wrote that he has made a “photographic career out of finding chemistry with strangers” and photographs “loners and dreamers”. Alec photographers those that are considered odd and who have not been looked at a second time by normal photographers, He captures these people in their homes and where they spend time, showing a different way of life.
Alec uses an 8×10 view camera (K.B. Canham, R.H. Phillips & Sons, and Ebony), professional color negative film, strobes and hotlights. He doesn’t use assistants for personal projects.
A key method he uses is a title, because of his project work, he tries to think of the perfect title to get the most out of his audiences mind.
Alec hes been compared more to fine art photographers then street photographers, which both involve approaching strangers.In an interview Alec said “I started out with kids because that was less threatening. I eventually worked my way up to every type of person’
Alec photographed these types of people because he wanted to show the stranger side of America. Sleeping By the Mississippi showed how Alec chooses to describe and demonstrate his personal instinctive grasp of reality.
