Propaganda Poster

This Poster is based on the book “Animal Farm”, written by George Orwell. The poster is a propaganda poster and it contains four types of propaganda.
The first type of propaganda is, Bandwagon. Napoleon wants to take the dog’s children so he can educate them, so he wants as many as possible, in order to do that he would create a poster including bandwagon, so the other dogs would think that he’s doing good for their future of their children and agree to what he is doing.
Glittering Generalities, the poster has a slogan, “Make YOUR Children Smart”. It tells the dogs that Napoleon wants to educate their children for a good purpose, to make them more intelligent for a better future. There is also a writing in the back saying “Education is Best”, meaning that education is the best thing to do to their children so they can become smarter dogs.
Another propaganda type in this poster would be Plain Folks, because you can see, that the teacher which is a pig teaches different kinds of puppies. The poster looks like an everyday normal thing that they would do daily. This is good for the other dogs to see because every parent would want to see something normal and nice for their children, and as the puppies are smiling, the parents will see this and think that they are enjoying their time, they are having fun by getting educated.
The final propaganda type of this poster is, Repetition. The slogan, “Make YOUR Children Smart”, would be very repetitive to the parents and it would be a good sentence to repeat, because the parents will see this all the time, and they would think that, what Napoleon is doing, is good for their children, and they should send them to Napoleon so they can be educated. There is also the slogan in the background “Education is Best” which is almost the same as the main slogan, because it is based around education, making the poster even more repetitive.
