This site shows Che Guevara as a hero and the different aspects of how he represents Cuba and the different ways Cuba is a great power, exhibited through the bright colors streaming out from him. Him being the source shows how he is the best thing to happen to Cuba and this is a very powerful piece of art.

Cuban Film Poster

This one caught my attention because there these two little girls holding guns towards a big man. It's like they have a greater effect on the man than the regular person would think the other way around. I Googled translated the writing on the man's chest and it states:  the Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery. The only thing that interests me is why are there two little girls robbing a big man?

Stalin

This is a link for one of the poster art posters that really caught my eye because it showed a really dominant picture of Stalin. Stalin ruled Russia for a really long time and he had a lot of power over the Russian people.

The reason I decided to send this photo is because I found it creative. It shows how the allies finally got a hold of the situation and that Hitler can no longer breath. Without breathing he does not have any more resources of life.

Cantor Center’s 'Revolutionary Tides' examines the language of political posters

The 1931 Soviet political poster caught my attention not only because it contains various messages, but because of the colors used.
The colors are limited to yellow, red,  and a greenish, moss color, but they are put together in such a way that it actually looks good.

This poster just looked so inspirational. the children look so happy to be playing with their plane and also to see real planes flying in the air. Everything in the poster just looks so light and real.

I thought this poster just looked so interesting. the way that the hammers all move in unison which i think symbolizes the unity of the workers. the bright colors against the black backdrop makes this poster stand out.
