Posters from WW2 had several purposes,• Specialist Recruiting
• Industrial Production
• Maintianing morale
• Security Concern
• Savings and austerity
• Health and Safety
The posters were quite simple, one large attention grabbing object or figure, usually with a background with large, to the point text. They were designed to grab attention from passersby.
Posters were a good way to keep morale high as they were easy to produce and distribute and could be placed anywhere for long periods of time without much manpower after application.
Quite similar to art nouveau which got its style from Japanese wood block prints from the 1800s.
