    Designers of all political parties, not just the Left, are capable of encouraging positive and negative change in the world. Graphic Designers, Cartoonists, and the Mainstream Media, are all aware of how impactful a strong emotional response can be, especially before a political event or poll takes place. Designers and Cartoonists draw inspiration from the media and social issues and incorporate them into their work. It is especially important that designers conduct more research than necessary to verify news sources and to keep in mind the potential political bias of the news source they get their information from. A picture is not exactly truthful these days and it is important to understand that the media can easily turn a picture into something it is not.

    In this particular presidential campaign poster in 1916, the type of propaganda is glittering generalization. It is using language associated with values and beliefs deeply held by the audience without providing supporting information or reason.

It is not effective because, one year later after it was made a war was declared.…
