What strikes me (besides NSA apparently meaning 'Non-Secular Americans') is that a lot of these posters don't have the design flair and inspiration of, say, WWII propaganda posters.
- badrabbit 8y agoThey would be using opposing themes today. Those posters were made for their time. Surely you don't think the NSA was led by religious people no more than the Donald Trump administration is led by Christians. They'd be screaming islamic chants in arabic if it helped their political goals.
- user982 8y agoThe NSA's existence was still not publicly acknowledged when some of these were commissioned (the versatile initialism then being "No Such Agency"), which may have shrunk the artist pool.
- pvg 8y agoMost of these are pretty basic workplace safety posters, they don't really have the same purpose (or attention lavished on them) as posters aimed at the public during a war.
- fenwick67 8y agoWell to be fair this is a random assortment and not a cherry-picked list of the most interesting ones.
