The poster message is that the red (which is the communist) will bring good things to the people. The poster makes people think that if you are part of the red, the country will get jobs and other things. The poster conveys its message by the picture of hand holding paper with the phase and the red flower and back ground. The most effective will be the words on the poster.

The message of the poster is not to listen to their leader and do things your own way. It makes people think that it is not necessary to follow the orders and what you are told you could what you want. The poster conveys its message by using the picture of figure pointing at one direction and the captions on top of the poster. The pointing finger is very effective on this poster.

http://posters.nce.buttobi.net/big/0548b.jpg

The poster message is that the start of communism will bring a new beginning to the country. The poster makes people thinks that when the communism took over the governing system they will get a new start and peace. The poster conveys the message by putting pictures of the revolution in Russia and the picture of Lenin and by putting the phase describing it. The most effective part of this poster probably is the picture of Lenin because when looking at Lenin face you mostly thought of revolution.

Conclusion: Most of the poster that i come across are releated to the revolution and most about Lenin the poster makes it look positive when they are also the negative of it. I think that Russia in that time uses propaganda posters a lot to influence people to think their way because they are under revolution or other situations that needed great deal of support.

Introduction

The 1980s, this decade is often referred to as "the Me decade" or "the Greed decade", reflecting the economic and social climate of the period.

On April 26, 1986 at 01:23 a.m. reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Located near Pripyat in Ukraine, exploded. It was the worst nuclear accident in the history of nuclear power. Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of radioactively contaminated fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area. The plume drifted over parts of the Western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and Eastern North America. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people. The accident brought up concerns about the safety of the Soviet nuclear power industry, slowing its expansion for a number of years, while forcing the Soviet government to become less secretive.

Events

Space shuttle Challenger (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-099) was NASA's second Space Shuttle orbiter to be put into service, Columbia being the first. On January 28, 1986, space shuttle Challenger exploded 74 seconds after lift off at Cape Canaveral, Florida. All seven astronauts including a school teacher died in the explosion. The reasons for the explosions were that the O-rings and gaskets that were used to seal the joints between the rocket boosters failed because of being exposed to cold weather. This cause the twin booster rockets to separate and fly off. The shuttle cabin also separated from the shuttle. This explosion causes other settle flights to be delayed for about three years.

Events

On October 11, 1986 Reagan and Gorbachev held a summit meeting in Reykjavík, Iceland, to pursue discussions about scaling back their intermediate-range ballistic missile arsenals in Europe. The talk came close to achieving an overall breakthrough on nuclear arms control, but ended in failure due to Reagan's proposed SDI and Gorbachev's proposed cancellation of it.

Technology

The introduction of the IBM Personal Computer in August 1981 eventually lead to standardization in personal computing, largely due to the system's open architecture, which encouraged production of third-party clones of the unit. While the Apple II would eventually be displaced by the IBM PC, Apple Computer's 1984 release of the Apple Macintosh would create a new model for the home computer which IBM-compatible computers would eventually emulate, which results to more people using computers.

Famous Piece of Art

Andy Warhol (born Augest 6 1928, February 22, 1987) had a re-emergence of critical and financial success in the 1980s, partially due to his affiliation and friendships with a number of prolific younger artists, who were dominating the "bull market" of '80s New York art: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, David Salle and the so-called Neo-Expressionists, as well as Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and members of the Transavantguardia movement, which had become influential. Warhol also had an appreciation for intense Hollywood glamor. He once said: "I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're so beautiful. Everything's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic."
