Hey guys, I hope you enjoy these little retro-style coronavirus wartime posters I threw together, using vintage illustrations and ads I found. I was trying to copy the vibes I saw in 1940s posters encouraging people to support the war efforts. They were really fun to make, and I like how they turned out. I really love the mid-century style, and the posters from that era are such time capsules.
These are a little bit tongue-in-cheek, because it feels a little silly as an adult to be reminded to wash your hands five billion times a day. But at the same time, I do know that these small measures are making a massive difference, just like stopping “loose lips”, buying war bonds, or “digging for victory” helped in WWII. So I hope you’ll remember my little coronavirus “wartime” posters and remember you’re legit helping by remembering to do the basics.
Also, I learned while making these just how *into* toilet paper mid-century women were in TP ads… 😳 Granted… I’m starting to get it.
Stay safe and do your part! :Salute:
<3 Much love,
