Weekend Onesie:
Waves, WACs, and Spars - Oh, My!
People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of graphics. Some of the finest? From various government agencies around the world. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.
I thrown in a few magazine covers, too.
Government agencies are responsible for any number of initiatives - suggestions brought home to the people by use of posters. Today, we'll take a brief look at the various campaigns to recruit women into direct service during wartime - as WAVES, WACs, and Spars. This was a matter of great importance in order to ensure military success, as it was a case of all hands on deck. To facilitate that success, governments got their messages out, boldly, colorfully and patriotically via brilliant posters.
Simple and direct...
These graphics have become iconic.
And part of history.
