Abstract:

In the tumultuous era of the First World War, the propaganda posters of England serve not only as documents of a war but also as evidence of the historical evolution of visual communication. The First World War, in addition to being a major conflict, has gone down in history as a poster war or a propaganda battle. Visual propaganda was a critical strategy employed by England to mobilize its own people for the war effort and, simultaneously, to influence its adversaries. Using the power of design, this strategy shaped the beliefs and participation of the public in the war. The visual content analysis in this study meticulously examines the details of posters from the era, reflecting the spirit of the time while also highlighting the strong influence of graphic design in political history. This analysis contributes to a better understanding of how the public was guided through visual propaganda, the attitudes of the people of that era towards the war, and the effects of the war on societal dynamics.
