Worldwide Organizations
Perhaps the most well-known recruitment poster was created by the United States Military. Recruitment is the act of requesting people to join an organization. During World War I, the United States Military created the poster that you see on this page. In this poster, the character Uncle Sam is used to represent America, asking young men to join the military. For this assignment, you will create a recruitment poster for one of the astronomical organizations that you studied in this topic. Your poster design should include the following:
- The name of the organization
- A description of organization's goals
- The organization's accomplishments
- Information on how to join the organization
The intention of your poster is to get people to join your organization, so your poster design should be visually appealing and should include an image related to astronomy, or the goal of the recruiting organization.
