Poster Design: The Political Weapon Tool heavily focuses on the history of posters being used for politics. Whether the idea is bringing out propaganda for the tyrannical government, or raising an individual voice for social justice purposes. Poster Design explores the history of famous designers using posters to bring their messages to the public, or being used by the government.
