(not so) motivational poster

[TheArchDuke]

Here's my first attempt at a soviet propaganda-style poster. I figured high-roaders would appreciate the humor.
Give me some helpful criticism because (believe it or not) I don't have much experience doing soviet propaganda.

 

[TheArchDuke]

Woops. On second thought, this should be in the political forum. One thousand apologies. Mods, please move this over.

 

[AJ Dual]

Add the first line "We're from the Government..."

Otherwise, not bad... not bad at all!

Chocolate Zombies?

 

[TheArchDuke]

Haha they DO look like chocolate huh?

I'm thinking they're a little too three dimensional. They don't match the flat background. I'll fix that right quick!

 

[Jaim03]

Da comrade! The glorious soviet peoples are needing much help from glorious chocolate army of our beloved autocratic republic!
Also, when posterizing to inspires the peoples, ALWAYS be on watch for moozNsqwerl! They are no-goodnick troublemakers....

Great first effort comrade!

Wow, you really have a handle on the "Soviet Realism" graphics style.

It might go over people's heads if they are too young to remember the Cold War era.

 

[geekWithA.45]

The criticism I have is that it's not entirely clear who's here to help...

chocolate soldiers? (great call, ryder!)
the ensemble cast from mad max?
militant oompah-loompahs?
prototype vader clone troopers?

Chocolate Zombies?

No, it's the New Orleans Police Department, (per Ray Nagin)...

im 21, i thought it was good (age added to go with the cold war comment)

 

[TheArchDuke]

Mmmm wow...I really don't like the original now that I've slept on it. Here's a way better version:

That second one is pretty good, though the pattern of the striping puts me more in the mind of the Japanese "rising sun" than anything Soviet.

The first one... change the caption to "yummy yummy" for the first line, then some random Japanese characters for the second line, and you'd have a great Engrish poster.

Awesome poster Duke. An instant classic.

 

[TheArchDuke]

How about "Yummi! Chocola slodier for to eat!"

 

[Creeping Incrementalism]

How about "Yummi! Chocola slodier for to eat!"

Yup
