Agitprop, Part 3a
“Women Workers, Take Up Your
Rifles!”, 1920
Posters
The first thing to say about
posters is that simplicity is what makes them good.
Hence the quality and impact
of posters has gone down since it became possible to print photographs
in polychrome. Posters have come to all look the same, without distinction and
without a clear message.
Posters should have a simple,
strong image and a few words, printed large so that they can be read from far
away.
The above image is a one of
the famous Soviet revolutionary posters that were made with paper and only two
colours of ink (black and red).
