Terrible jobs posters

Do you hate your job? Back in 2006, the German online recruitment website Jobsintown.de created this funny campaign to encourage people to break out of the mold and find their perfect job. The agency Scholz & Friends, Berlin came up with the concept and slogan for the campaign “Life’s too short for the wrong job”.  The concept of the advertising campaign was to introduce the idea that there are people behind these machines that are hard at work in cramped spaces.

What do you think about this campaign? Are you thinking about changing jobs? Share your thoughts with us!

World War Two Propaganda

During World War Two, propaganda posters became something of an art form. There were many interesting persuasive images created to communicate the ideologies of this critical time. For example, one common use was to warn civilians about the dangers of careless talk, even in the company of ladies!

There are some sites with large collections of Nazi posters from 1930’s and 40’s like the German Propaganda Archive. Some of those pieces were made with photographs, others, with illustrations, but all of them, without doubt, required very effective communication skills.

What do you think of these creations? Do you think they fulfilled their purpose in that time?
