World War 2

During World War 2, governments on every side treated graphic design as a strategic resource. Posters recruited soldiers, rationed civilian behavior, and shaped public morale in ways that newspapers alone could not. The best work from this period is blunt and direct, built for a viewer who had seconds to absorb the message. The pieces shown here are period originals from that effort.
