Comparing recruiting and anti-war posters for analyzing visual rhetoric

Hi all. Leading up to the Visual Rhetoric project, my students and I discussed the war recruitment posters found in the visual rhetoric chapter of CDA. Then we compared these posters to parodies of the same posters, with an anti-war bent. (Huh? I hope that makes sense.) I've attached examples of the paired posters (the originals and the parodies) below. If you want to see more examples of these posters, you can visit www.antiwarposters.com

Peace out,
CE
