Propaganda Poster

I was finally able to find my propaganda poster, it was in the barracks study room where I had been working the night before. I uploaded a picture of it to the media portion of my eportfolio.  I used several key themes I found to be the most important throughout the different North Korean propaganda I looked at.  First of all I featured Kim Il Sung at the top of the poster within a sun to represent how the Koreans look to their leader as the sun that gives them life.  The left portion of the poster under Kim Il Sung is used to represent the Korean Military prowess.  It features a Korean soldier holding a rifle with a bayonet on it, and stuck on the bayonet is a much smaller helpless American solider, to represent how the North Koreans believe that America is the enemy and their superiority over us.  I also added several missiles behind the soldier to represent their nuclear capabilities.  To the right side of the poster I drew several sunflowers, a common symbol to represent the Korean people, who turn towards their sun (Kim Il Sung) to give them life and direction.  And finally the top right portion of the poster has a North Korean flag, used to represent the sovereignty of the North Korean state as a whole.
