Poster Description
One would think that Avery’s poster is a little bland, though it does have red text which is… not much to be honest. Though if you think about it more, the other propaganda posters (as in the ones that were shown for demonstration) didn’t have much for explanations on the poster, it was all implied. Sorry Avery digressed, anyway, what Avery did for his poster is where he had a butcher with a ham leg with a caption saying “THIS WE PREVENT” in red lettering. The propaganda types of this poster are: Fear, common enemy, repetition, and glittering generalities. Fear because it shows the consequences if they don’t rebel and someone eventually leading the cause of animalism. Common enemy because it portrays man as THE enemy. Repetition because it’s simple, short, and easy to remember so it can be repeated with the poster in mind. Last but not least, is glittering generalities because it is vague, as in it just says it prevents a butcher with a ham leg when there are many things they are talking about, as well can be a catch phrase with the poster in mind. An example of a glittering generality poster is the “Yes we can” poster where it has Obama is coloured in red and blue with a caption saying “Yes we can” underneath him. An example of a Common enemy poster is the “THIS is the enemy” poster where it has a Nazi(?) with a pistol carrying a woman.
