War Poster


To change this poster into an anti-war poster I would make the following changes; instead of the children playing with the toys and looking up at the swastika symbol coming down on them, I would have them watching as their father leaves for war. They would be holding their toys close to their hearts almost as if they were wishing it was their father. The look of disappointment, sadness, and fright would still be on the children's faces as they watched their father leave them, taking off in a plane. So instead of the swastika sign as the shadow on the ground I would change it into the shadow of the father's plane. I would have the shadow be in a dark blue/orange/black color. The mix of these colors would represent seriousness, for blue, deceit and distrust, for orange, representing the father leaving the children, and black representing the death and evil that awaits the father when he arrives at war. I would change the slogan to "Don't make him (meaning the oldest child in the picture who has his hand on the littlest child almost like he is protecting him) take the role as the father figure, that's your job." "Peace." I would have the first slogan in white and then "Peace" in Green.
