I Want You….To Put Away Your Smartphone: Propaganda Posters for the Modern Age

By Brett & Kate McKay, The Art of ManlinessJanuary 08, 2013 at 04:09PM

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. Enjoy.
