I think this poster is really interesting to look at and it caught my attention right away. I like how the picture of the soldier is faded into the American flag. I understand the point that is trying to be made. The only thing i don't understand is, what are you trying to persuade me to do?

I think that this is one of the best posters posted. The part that really makes it good is the emotion you can see in he soldiers face, it really grabs you. The tear just drives home the idea of how hard war is on a soldier. I also like the fact that it is very simple, so nothing takes away from the emotion while still making the point of bringing the troops home.

this poster is good it achieves getting the message across the strongest point in your poster are the soldier it really helps the poster achieve the message its displaying i would just make the font bigger other than that its very good.

i think that this is a great poster. it has a good message and it shows it in the pictures. even though there are only 5 words, or somewhere around that, it is a strong message that really gets to the point. it is also a different way than what everyone is used to hearing. it is usually something like bring our troops home or something like that but i like how you said it better.

this is one of my favorite posters. i like how the artist used photoshop to put the soldier in the photo along with the american flag. this person used dominance in their poster with the flag and soldier but i think the text could have been a little bigger to help make this more proportional. i think that the person also used spacial organization well. with a big picture it uses up all of the background space. the only thing i dislike is the small text and a little more persuasion on what you want to persuade.

wonderfully done. This is one of my favorites. It is quick and to the point. A very simple topic... we need to bring them home. I like how you turned down the opacity of the soldier to blend him with the flag. It makes me feel like he need to be home in the states finally.

I think that this poster is a good representation of the message being portrayed. The crying soldier puts the focus on a central point. The american flag back-round makes it seem strong and powerful, but still gives the text enough space to not make it seem cluttered. The text and the soldier picture also balance well. If anything should be done differently the text might be done with a little more emphasis and strength, making the message seem more important.

This is, quite simply a good poster. There is nothing totally extraordinary about it, but it sends the message it is trying to convey. The emotion of the soldiers face, and the size of the soldiers head, really gives it dominance. The design is slightly unbalanced, with the soldiers head making it a little heavy on the right, but the text almost balances it out. I think the poster lacks contrast however, and it seems as if both images are slightly opaque. I think you should increase the contrast or saturation of the american flag so it doesn't look as faded out.

i think this poster is really cool to look at. I really like how the solider is faded into the flag. The point you are trying to get across is very obvious to me. I think this is one of the best ones on the site, good job
