Hunger Games Project Propaganda Poster

I worked with Tommy for the Hunger Games project. We thought that by indoctrinating the citizen of Panem with the poster was a good idea, because some of the people might think that District people is treated badly. So in order to convince them, we made a poster with a fake information depicted as images. The propaganda poster is aimed at the citizens of the Capitol to make them think that the districts of Panem are wealthy and have enough food to eat. The Capitol has made the poster using the glittering generalities and transfer devices. Glittering generalities device is a type of propaganda, which uses virtue words to stir up emotions of viewers either positively or negatively. Transfer device is a type of propaganda where symbols are used to carry over authority and stir up emotions of the viewers. The poster of the stomach and steak symbolizes the fullness and luxurious lifestyle of the district people (This is a blatant lie – the Capitol would want to cover up the injustice). The car, house and the money on the background represent the wealth (another exaggeration) The medicine and the shot are trying to show us that the citizens are healthy and getting proper treatment (Again, clearly untrue). The words stand out in the poster suggesting that this propaganda’s purpose is to make Capitol citizens think that the districts are good places to live and how wealthy and well the people are living. Also because the district people are living a good life, the Capitol people would become apathetic and lack concern to district people’s life. The poster came out to be farely good and since we put effort into it, we are satisfied with our final work, below is the photo of our poster.
