I love the alien reference. One of my all time favourite movies.

Would it be ok if i used this for a fan book i'm creating for university?

u/Cmatthewman Nov 13 '15

Glad you like it. One of my favourite films too. Feel free to use the image. I don't own any of the source images though :)

It says "No to war! Yes to war!" if you translate the Russian part.

u/willt114 Nov 21 '15

oh no, oops. I hadn't considered that. Oh well, sounds like most foreign policies these days...

I like this one a lot, the original has always been one of my favorite propaganda posters.

I also like that in your alternate version the weekly battle winners have the position of France; both are under-appreciated.

You should shrink it to 300x250 px, but it's great!

u/graphleek Nov 09 '15

Thanks for the compliment! And you also made me realize I had the dimensions backwards. I'm an idiot.

What is this?

u/ThrobinWigwams Jan 12 '16

The original post above explains it above much better than I will, but it's part of /r/photoshopbattles and is a kind of contest for making an image under a particular theme. This one was for creating a propaganda poster, and had a secondary contest for making an ad for /r/PropagandaPosters.
