![]() ‘We The People’ posters brought awareness to the abuse and assault that women of colour receive in their daily life. Although this problem is largely scene in the USA, it is also seen in our country and internationally. Frank Shepard Fairey, the creator of the ‘We The People’ posters, creates artwork to raise awareness and hope about the dehumanization of others. These posters were used during the women's marches that took place in the USA to show support, hope and power that females have when they ban together. I think that these poster are an effective use of propaganda. The posters raise awareness of a situation that people don’t want to talk about and they give hope to the people that the posters represent. Fairey used different propaganda techniques effectively in the posters including fear, glittering generalities and transfer. Fear is raised in the people that suppress women of colour. Glittering generalities are used on each poster to demonstrate the strength in numbers of women, and transfer is used to show how proud everyone is to be America. These poster lead people to think about their actions for and against women of colour and how they can change to make their country a better place. Fairey reached his goal of creating a discussion about women of colour and the stereotypes that around them. So, by raising awareness about the situation around women of colour, the ‘We The People’ posters, created by Frank Shepard Fairey, use propaganda effectively.

First of all I like that you talked about the effective propaganda used in a series of posters created by one artist. I agree that those posters can show both fear or hope based on the eyes of the person seeing them. In another way to look at these posters, is that together they give a sense of unity like in the women's march they showed how all women should stand together no matter the background or culture, because they don't need anything else in common other than the fact that they are all Americans marching for the same reason.
