Third assignment time. I found this assignment where I’m supposed to edit a propaganda poster and make it DS106 propaganda. I flipped through some old WWI-era posters and found this gem:

For some reason, it feels super clickbait-y. Almost like “What THIS one soldier did will make YOU want to join the war”. Because of this, I decided to use this poster as my base. I edited it (for way too long) and ended up with this:

I created the first DS106 by piecing together other letters from that title. The second one was similar, but I had to create the “6” entirely by hand, so it ended up looking a little wonky. For the last one, I found a font similar to the existing text, then manually filled it in with red so it’d have an outline that looked right (Paint.NET isn’t very good at adding outlines to text). I think I’m getting better at removing text from posters and making it look like it was never there! I also did that earlier this week with the poster daily create, but I think I did a better job with this one. Pretty good propaganda, if you ask me.
