Three Quotes from the Novel (explained):

1)
(George Orwell 1984 p.3 Penguin Publishing)
“The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. Inside the flat a fruity voice was reading out a list of figures”
2)
(George Orwell 1984 p.27)

“On the walls were scarlet banners of the Youth League and the Spies, and a full-sized poster of Big Brother. There was the usual boiled-cabbage smell, common to the whole building, but it was shot through by a sharper reek of sweat, which— one knew this at the first sniff, though it was hard to say how—was the sweat of some person not present at the moment. In another room someone with comb and a piece of toilet paper.”

(George Orwell 1984 p.4 penguin publishing)

“Outside, even through the shut windowpane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The blackmoustachio’d face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston’s own. Down at street level another poster, torn at one corner, flapped fitfully in the wind, alternately covering and uncovering the single word INGSOC. In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people’s windows”

The reason I chose the design I did for this project was based on several references off the book based on depictions of big brother and so I was inspired to make it off the described posters but with a twist showing the cityscape for effect, the poster is supposed to use the method of invoking patriotism so manipulation, by having the infamous photo of Big Brother along side the slogan of the party. “war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength” along with the propaganda pieces slogan of” support the party support big brother down with Eurasia” meant to invoke feelings of fierce patriotism and fear of the enemy, the INGSOC logo is also added to make the poster seem more legitimate since that seems like something the party would have added to their pieces but is overlooked or not mentioned in the book by Winston for whatever reason. The emotions invoked when viewing the poster:
Fear: fear is invoked when viewing this poster when you look at the text as well as the menacing features of Big Brother you feel a sense of fear when seeing him and also when reading the text, which stresses the importance of the annihilation of Eurasia for the sake of Oceania’s survival.

Patriotism: Patriotism is felt in this when one views the striking image of Big Brother as well as the lines of supporting the party to crush the enemy Eurasians.

Tactics used: manipulation, inspiring of patriotism and fear into the people the next tactic used on this piece was band wagoning, since when viewed it inspires all viewers of the poster to feel a surge of patriotism as well as support for the party and Big Brother and pure hatred for the Eurasian people. The poster is the best example of party propaganda that can be depicted while showing the things that the party wants to instill in its people and furthermore the only emotions, they want their citizens to portray, those being fear, rage, and patriotism. To summarize the points made, the propaganda poster is based off of several pieces explained and shown throughout the book as well as described, it is depicting Big Brother with the background of the city of Airstrip One, with the party slogans of “War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength” on the ministry of truth’s building and the propaganda slogan saying “support the party support Big Brother! Down with Eurasia!” the poster is to invoke feelings of patriotism fear and the techniques are fear inducing, patriotism inducing, and band wagoning by invoking patriotism when viewing the INGSOC logo and the ever-imposing picture of big brother, and fear of the Eurasians.
