Finalised Postcards

Today in class we finalised our five postcard designs, they will be as follows:

1: Postcard featuring an image of a soldiers uniform, we are going to use real fabric to texturise the postcard as well as a white feather in the pocket of the uniform. This postcard will include the quote "Thanks very much, we don't get pipe cleaners very often in the trenches"- Pte Norman Demuth

2: This postcard will feature images we have manipulated on photoshop of both Mary Augusta Ward and Admiral Fitzgerald (Founders of the White Feather movement) with the following explaining who they are: " 



3. The third postcard will feature two images of Vesta Tilley, representing her two personas along with her song lyrics:
 But now your country calls you to play your part in war.And no matter what befalls youWe shall love you all the more. From the Song, Your King and Country Want You written by Paul Rubens (1914) 


4: Propaganda Poster, assuming we gain permission to modify the poster we have selected we will turn the "We Want You" poster into a propaganda poster directed at women with the following quote: 
"The Young Women of Lon don," the mayor asked: "Is your 'Best Boy' wearing Khaki? ... If not don't YOU THINK he should be? If he does not think that you and your country are worth fighting for-do you think he is worthy of you?" - Lord Major of London 

5. The final postcard will feature and image of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst being arrested along with quote from Nicoletta Gullace (Author and Associate Professor of History) who describes the White Feather campaign and the actions of women during  the campaign as a "monstrous distortion of femininity"
