The message is strong and powerful as the man in the picture is pointing directly at you making the message more intimate making you feel involved. The colours within this poster are the same colours that are in the US flag directing the poster to Americans. When looking at this poster I am directly drawn to his eyes and his finger as they are the centre piece of this poster. “Some of these efforts led to several world-famous designs. Others fell to history only to end up on websites such as this. Regardless, the propaganda effort was in full swing from all sides involved, convincing the masses that it was their individual duty to win the war for the respective sides”. https://www.secondworldwarhistory.com/ww2-war-posters.asp.
