Poster Campaign

 

Using the imagery from 1940's American propaganda poster's, i created these images using slogan that i had taken from extract of Irish graduate emigrates, who had to leave the country over the past year due to job shortages. They had sent letters to the Irish Times complaining against the Tanaiste Mary Coughlans remarks towards young Irish people declaring them "entitled to emigrate to enjoy themselves" Most of these emigrates have no choice but to leave the country to find work and resent the Tanaiste's remark. When i printed these pictures out i hung them around various college campuses to see the reaction from future graduates.

The students were also protesting for the government to introduce internship schemes for graduates, to try and reduce the graduate emigration rate's which have soared over the last two years.
