“Propaganda Posters for the Modern Age” on The Art of Manliness
Poster Illustrated by Ted Slampyak (The Art of Manliness)
The Art of Manliness has created half a dozen faux “propaganda posters” to lay out some of the simple rules of modern etiquette:
During the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, the use of “propaganda posters” were popular for encouraging good behavior — teaching safety, boosting worker morale, and rousing wartime sacrifice. I’ve always enjoyed the art and design of these posters, and decided to have Ted whip up a set of originals to address an area of behavior where modern society is often lacking: smartphone etiquette.
Come to think of it, maybe it’s not right to call these “faux” posters after all – a number of commenters are planning to print them out and start plastering.
