History:
This is the poster that I have chosen to develop into my twentieth century style twitter poster. This poster shows Franklin D. Roosevelt the 32nd US president showing his war plane manufacturing plan during world war two. This poster is to display visually what his military airforce plans were between 1942 and 1943. This poster may have been commissioned after the Japanese attacked pearl harbour at the end of 1941 which brought america into ww2.

Colour and Imagery:

The colours used in this poster are really strong and bold, the red "V" placed at the bottom of the blue makes a really contrasting and bold image, the blue triangle which also matches the lines of the red "V"draw your eye down to where the bottom (point) of the triangle would be but instead you see Roosevelt of whom the poster is associated with.
The small attention to detail with the small lines which follow the shape of the "V" look really effective, i think that these lines make having that image in the middle of Roosevelt work, without these lines I don't think it would look right and the image would look out of place. The planes work really well with them looking as if they are coming from Roosevelt which further enforces his war plans of making more war planes. The blue triangles are both the same colour however they also have an opacity lower than 100% which means that when they overlap they become darker and give the effect shown. I like how the planes do not stick to the blue triangle lines, it looks as if there are too many planes and that they will have more than enough to fight with. With the small lines that flow through Roosevelt they meet lower and the circle and instead of jet having the image continue as a circle the image extends the full small length of the triangle. Actually just looking at it more closely i can see that the image actually does stop and it shows the background underneath, I think it would have worked how I said with the image extending.

Text:

The font used for the "war planes" is reasonably bold and a little condensed, i like how there is variation in upper and lowercase lettering and point sizes. The main number uses full stops instead of commas which is different. There is also Roosevelt's signature at the bottom which shows that he has agreed the plan and signed it. There is not a lot of text on this poster which i like as some poster are seemed to be dominated by text.
