I have to design some "posters". One of those will have "facility rules" on it. Which font would you guys use for making it look like commie propaganda?
Basically, tips and tricks to make some decent communist regime like propaganda posters.

How much will you pay me for advice, commie?

Well it depends, which place would you want it to look like? Russian propaganda is distinct from Cuban propaganda is distinct from Korean propaganda, etc.
If you just want a catch-all generic poster, then you'd probably just have to look into socialist realism and/or red monochromatic palettes.

Probably East Germany or Russian propaganda look.

Actual fucking soviet picture during Stalin's reign, that a friendly Russo anon posted in /int/, believe this was during the start of the first 5 year plan, may be wrong so take it with a grain of salt

It doesn't really matter what ideology a nation like Somalia has, their genes are a forever curse on their prosperity.

With very few exceptions those kinds of posters use ALL CAPS and sans-serif block lettering that is intended to display strength, determination and brutal resolve, and tries way too hard. So much so that even if you can't read the lettering they are so over the top in both bold, blocky typeface and stark, in-your-face layout that you can't help but recognize the cliche for what it is.

Basically nothing is a soft sell or an appeal to humanity or individual feelings and even things like letter spacing make few concessions to making anything easy or pleasant or persuasive...they are NOT asking you to think, they are ordering you to agree and OBEY.

>propaganda is propaganda
who would've thought!

this. what would russians even get from western people fighting against each other?
>>
>>454437
Not all propaganda follows that template, dumbfuck; propaganda can be subtle, it can cajole and flatter and appeal to people's gentler nature as a means of manipulating them.

Totalitarian collectivist propaganda as a rule does not take that approach, especialy once that rule is established. STFU and read a book.
