lamuella Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 HHAYD, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. You keep posting these barking mad images and keep thinking they are in some way coherent or effective. It's starting to get sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] constructive criticism: create a clear and coherent image that someone can look at and see in less than a second what it is. Make sure your text is short, pithy, and readable. If it's dialogue, make sure it sounds like something someone would say. If it's dialogue from your "bad guy" make sure it sounds like something they have said. Tell a simple story. If it's a single panel and it takes someone longer than five seconds to understand what's going on, they will just be confused by it. If you're constructing a metaphor, make sure it's one people will recognize. Use words only to support the text. If someone has to read the caption to see what's happening, you haven't communicated well. If you use multiple panels, have them tell a story. Make sure each image and each word is necessary. Don't name your characters in their dialogue. People don't announce their names before they speak. Remember that propaganda of this form is a visual medium. You're trying to create something that people feel, and feel quickly. The longer it takes, the less effective it is. If you're making it funny, make it actually funny. Nothing kills a piece of propaganda more dead than a failed gag. In short, make it punchy, quick, and simple. Create an iconic image that sticks with people. Your various pieces fall down on essentially all of these scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not an especially good artist and other people make better propaganda than me. Plus, I'm usually posting from a computer that doesn't have a particularly good graphics program on it.

joracy Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Now guys, lets be fair. HHAYD's last piece of propaganda is significantly better than his earlier work. The text is readable, and the idea is coherent and understandable. It may not be entirely true, or extremely effective, but I have to say it's a giant improvement.
