Propaganda & Analyzing Visual Images

Definition of PROPAGANDA:

• Information of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
  

Hitler and the Nazi's used propaganda to set their standards and bring people in to vote for them. An example of the biased info, were posters that used his failed artistic talent to attract people. He knew how to make the posters informative and eye catching. Hitler understood that to rig in more votes he needed to use propaganda to lead the audience to buying into his biased views. Whether it be of the Jews or Germany's need to fight back and resist the oppressors of the Treaty of Versailles.

Analyzing Visual Images

1. The family is very illustrated and it shows four happy children with rosy cheeks and dimpled chins. I can imagine that they are blond and blue-eyed. The family is placed in the center of the picture and the words Healthy People have Healthy Children are placed above and below the illustration.

2. The Creator is trying to convey the idea of a healthy and happy Greater
Germany. It's conveyed to encourage the Germans to evolve and produce
a mass population. The more people there are, there's more chance of
them taking over countries, to become a Great and Powerful Germany.

Evaluate: The purpose of the image is to encourage healthiness and children. The intended audience is probably young couples in relationships. I think it achieves it's purpose quite successfully.
