Propaganda during World War I was a way for the government to persuade people to do or think a certain thing. Usually propaganda only showed one side of the story. The message of this poster is to get people to save more and be more resourceful. Because WWI was a total war, many nations made social and economic changes in order to achieve the best possible military effort. I like this poster because it's charismatic and it has a valid message. The woman catches peoples attention with her enthusiastic facial expression. She also appeals to other women of the day because she appears to be a typical middle class woman trying to save ration points. This poster would have encouraged others to be more patriotic like this woman and want to become part of the war effort.
