Make Love, Not War - Jonathan Turner

Influence of old propaganda, romantic, and war posters. Used an unusual main imagery, but that was the point to gain attention from the viewer. The red is used as a nuetral for both romance and warfare.

Social Politcal Poster for Chile

This poster represents the current social divide in a un-united Chile.

It's a sensitive topic amongst the Chilean people as to what was the right course in history for Chile. Was having a socialist president like Allende (elected by the people) and his communist ideas for the country to radical for its people to handle? Was having General Pinochet (President and Dictator) a savior for the country of Chile by overthrowing Allende to bring back democracy?

In the end, blood was spilled in order for democracy to exist, but perhaps blood would of been spilled if Allende would of stayed in power as well. Nonetheless, this is the issue that divides the country socially where only 'el tiempo curas las heridas' or 'time will heal the wounds.'
