Propaganda Poster


This propaganda poster published by United States Navy during World War I which calls men to the navy.
First you will see the girl smiling like a child and her wish to be a man. It shows women weak and emphasizes masculinity and need of men in the navy. Moreover the words "Gee","a man" and "I'd" are underlined. At the bottom of picture there is the command: "Be a man and do it." Being a man is represented as joining to the navy.
The word "navy" is bigger than others because of its importance.
On the right sleeve of the girl uniform there is a rating badge which encourages people to join the navy. This rating badge has a pretty good rate. It isn't for recruits. (Badges always reminds me games in which you accomplish the missions to earn achievements. If only life could be so easy like a game.)
