Today we chose to analyze the “keep calm and carry on” posters, they originally were produced as
motivational posters to help British citizens prepare for the coming Second World War however the
saying today is vastly overused and largely irrelevant to the posters actual content. The original
statement was appealing to me because it represented a beacon of calming in a world that was about
to erupt in pandemonium. It fails to appeal to me because the format of the poster has been taken and
used to depict subjects that are completely irrelevant and unassociated with the thought. It uses a
large slew of subject matters that are largely irrelevant to the original design and intent of the poster
and this in of itself is specifically what is aggravating about them along with the fact that it delivers a
message that it not necessarily as positive in its new sayings and it also shows a surprising inability
for new creative thought in relation to motivational posters. If I were to create this poster on a
different medium I would definitely seek to do so in a quote format. This would keep it in its original
form and keep others from using the medium in improper and irrelevant ways
