GRAPHIC DESIGN Here’s an interesting collection of vintage propaganda posters promoting certain health practices. “The main objective of posters, as with other communications media is to influence attitudes, to sell a product or service or to change behavior patterns. Public health posters are clearly in the third category, their purpose being to alter the consciousness of the public to bring about an improvement in health practices.” -William H. Helfand.
