War Advertisement
Hi. In my history class we're working around propaganda, and so we had to pick an issue in the world right now and make an ad about it. I picked the Iraq war. Naturally, an ad either paints half-truths or goes in for emotions, but I cant think of WHAT to advertise for, really...soldiers? money for the war? What exactly? I want it to be unique and not boring and stuff. Any ideas, anyone? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
advertise for money to bring the soldiers home to visit family, or to take family to them!

look up old nazi war propoganda posters online theres a TON and just copy one of those and change it to be about the iraq war. it could be justification for the war, soldiers, propoganda against the iraqi people, etc etc

Weeeeelll, a lot of propoganda is about changing or maintaining public opinion (for examples see the Nazi and Soviet propoganda of WW2). Your advertisment doesn't necessarily therefore have to advertise a physical 'thing', it could be an attempt to change public opinion. I read comic books and a lot of them contain adverts at the moment which refer to the dirty-dealings of big business e.g. tabacco companies. The adverts are really just an attempt to change opinions. Perhaps you could do one on the war in Iraq either putting it in a positive light or a negative one, purely to change the opinion of the populace.

The links below provide examples of what I mean, adverts which attempt to inspire or disgust or whatever, instead of pushing an actual product. Just a thought, peace out.

o wow i did this EXACT project in 8th grade, lol. depends, do you want it for america or against? if it's for then you can draw an angry looking iraqi behind a strong looking american soldier and it can say "help us fight terrorism"
if it is for iraq it could have Uncle Sam (american icon) taking oil from some helpless iraqis and captioned "Don't let them take over" or an american soldier beating an iraqi, or a bombed village, captioned "look what they've done"
hope i helped!
