Week 6: DS106 Propaganda Poster

In this assignment we are continuing with our theme of design. We were asked to take a WWII propaganda poster and redesign it into something propagating a theme related to DS106.

I chose a poster that had to do with the red scare. It was a poster emphasizing the believed idea that all Americans needed to not speak of anything related to our side of the war for fear of word getting back to the communist regime in Europe. So I chose this original poster:

And when I redid the photo I knew I wanted to tie it to something having to do with social media. Its with that in mind I though I would have more room to play around because most online social media happens without voices. I decided for my poster redo I would use twitter because it was a playful way to incorporate this WWII fear of gossip with our modern day ways of communication
