Print and Propaganda

The power of print has been used as a political tool from prints early beginning's. The ability to reach audiences and target the masses has been a perfect tool for various political reasons over the years. The first printed book Gutenberg's Bible below is a great example. 



During the first and second World Wars, print was used for Propaganda reasons too. Famously printed posters were used of striking images used by  The Soviet Union  see below,  the images where used as a way to rally the people.

During D Day thousands of fliers were dropped over France by allied forces as a call to arms for the french resistance. Fliers where also dropped over towns and villages to warn the residents to seek shelter from the pending air strikes.

GB Athletes have been enjoying a great haul at the London Olympics, and GB Athletics on the whole has reason to be optimistic for the future of their sport. 

Brighton Phoenix a great athletics club have been helping shape athletes for the future for all levels of ability and they have produced a fair few team GB athletes in their time too. None more famous than former Brighton Phoenix founder Steve Ovett who just happened to pop into our Annexe studios last week, what a treat that was, a personal hero of mine!! 

We have just produced these fantastic mat laminated welcome packs for the club.
With the popularity of the sport hitting a high, and athletics being a great way of keeping fit, why not join Brighton Phoenix as they cater for all abilities and ages.
