Me and Lauren decided to make a poster where Mao Zedong is presented. He is wearing the green army uniform and has a banner on his arm that says "soldier" in Chinese character. His face is illustrated to be smiling to show that he has hope and energy to provide guidance to the country. It also shows how he is not a tyrannic ruler, but one that's good to his people. We wanted to make sure that everyone who saw this propaganda would feel obliged and follow his decision. We also painted a Chinese flag hanging behind him. We wanted to emphasize that Mao only desired to make his country, and his people be governed under the right way. We also decided to paint the background in sky blue. It illustrates the sky, and that he is above it. His only passion was to improve the current situations and learn from the past mistakes. We wanted to express that Mao only and did care about the society.

The point to this poster was to ensure the citizens that Mao was approachable and that he would do anything to save the country. He is dedicated to try anything thing in order to help and guide his country. He desires the citizens the life they want and to support the Cultural Revolution. Propaganda's are shown to portray the hope and the good side of the country, which is also known as the cult of personality. People want to believe that Mao Zedong is the fatherly figure, and a successful leader who can lead China efficiently. Through this poster, the citizens may feel united and secured under his protection.
