Well, don't get me wrong... the propoganda style could be effective if you take it to a ridiculous extreme - then it's clever.

Also my point was not that today's youth are knowledgeable and will react negatively to propoganda. It's that we've grown up on television, action flics, bright color magazines, flashing billboards, the 30 second advertisement and the 5 second sound byte. Our eyes simply move right over things that don't reach out and GRAB them.

In more ways than one, we're very close to the futurist style that grew up with the fascist states in europe - speed, progress, conflict. The difference is that the media technology they had available was much more subdued and limited.

So, a propoganda poster that's flashy and over-the-top in its message could work quite well.

Like if we put a big picture of a penis on it. Except that'll attract the wrong kind of attention.

Choice comment Herr Lord von Fishbarrel, very choice.

Well my point of introducing such examples may be defined in your reasons. I just stated that if today's youth was smarter, which was implied, then another type of propaganda should be valued. However, going back to impressionable, fast, blunt, and down right corny, if we could take it to a extreme then maybe, as you say, it could be quite effective.

I like media and my now glazed over eyes that have resulted from countless hours of TV.

If some people come up with some images then we could give them feedback etc. I'll try one when I get some spare time off work.

Just tossed together. It's imagery from the game Medieval - Total War 2, since I have no footage from Darkfall.

...and here's another.

Small and kinda.. eh, but still - different.

lol I like that. It's like a promotional tourism video. I recognize the guy from Mists of Avalon, but what about the rest?

Of the three, I liked the last one the best. Your Grace?
