Heroic Icons


Ronald Reagan Hope Hero Poster - Reagan Bush 84       Hitler





 the Latin revolutionary, Che Guevara.





What I found in google site is traditional hero images. 
First, I saw so many poster which is bold and having contrast.
Red and blue and read and black is examples.
I think using illustrate and make it posterize is powerful.

Posters from the WPA1

a. Respond to the palette from the poster:
No primary color is here. Light red, light blue and black is used. He used red and blue colors so it is contrast. It is not perfect red and blue color. Adding white color so make it vintage looks.

b. Respond to the illustration style of the poster:
In this poster, square and round shape are used together. Square shape of Camera and face go together. Also head and type harmonize together. Abstracted shapes are used and everything is symbolized. 

c. Respond to the persuasive technique of the poster:
I think it harmonized nicely with square and circle. It reminds its content which is art.
