Everyone has seen this image and there have been countless parodies of it as well. It was created during WWI as propaganda to recruit soldiers for the American Army. Uncle Sam is depicted pointing at and staring into the eyes of the viewer, drawing them in. The use of an iconic figure (Uncle Sam) and the choice of the red, white and blue colors make it very patriotic. Uncle Sam personifies the United States and is a man associated with the qualities of fairness, reliability, honesty, and who is devoted to his country. The &#8220;YOU&#8221; is the most prominent word. It is larger than the rest and a different color, which again draws the viewer in. I believe this poster connects to the viewer in a very personal way (especially emotionally). This poster was so overwhelmingly successful that it was later used in WWII.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I believe this is one of the most famous posters of all time.
