Government Posters: Introduction

| introduction | purpose | methods | design at the time |

Private companies and consumer goods weren't the only market for advertisements. Governments, in times of stress and upheaval, needed to keep the general population on their side, or at the very least, remind the people they are helping each other, not just the government. Sometimes the government relied on designers to fashion posters or signs. These jobs were soon considered a higher calling than creating advertisements for the consumer market.
