It's Soviet Style Propaganda, they weren't too imaginative with their designing, so it's in context. :P

The texture is used perfectly, i like the background and the contrast on obama, thopugh i would say just a little less textured obama will look better imo.
Awesome work, finally i see you use an image :P

I used gradient mapping to get the effects, FYI :P Highly underrated tool.

Clear message and well executed. Loving the texture.

On the main text it looks like you used a japanese font, may I ask if there is a purpose with the font of choise, or am I wrong about the japanese look?

Russian. It's a free font called Red October, if you want to get it yourself.

Aight, then it makes scense for me, good going.

Nah not really a fan of that font, so I wont download it ^u^

interesting piece love the texture effect the only thing i don't like is.... Obama(only like a person) keep up the good work ;)

The only thing that is 'Soviet' about this design is the faux-Cyrillic typeface and a clichéd CCCP colour scheme (which was actually very rarely used in propaganda displays). The actual design elements and composition is about as Western as you could get. I recommend looking at actual Soviet poster design, doing some research about the movement and why/how it was so successful and trying this again.

Correctly identified. But it wouldn't do to make western propaganda entirely Soviet since that would be out of context with the propaganda of the western media engine. I said it was 'inspired' not a 'parody'. Besides. That's what these western bullshit engines do, create something that's loosely cliché on a style, but not well informed by it. My piece in informed by propaganda, and all the mess that the Western Media makes of it. I did detailed studies on the Soviet Union when I was at college.

It wasn't open for CnC, by the way. It's fine as it is.
