Andrea's Constructivist poster

The purpose of this poster and the main idea is to show the Greek people of Greece and elsewhere how "Now it is Time" to get up!

Do not give up hope with all capitalist problems and governmental failures and misdirections of the country. The people have to get up now so that they do not lose most of the country's property to the IMF that has taken control of Greece's monetary problems.

After thousands and thousands of years of history, democracy, culture,religion, wars, battles for freedom under slavery and finally getting the country free at last almost 200 years ago, Greeks do not want to get enslaved again.
The politics reigning have been horrible and brought the country to bankruptcy.
Many people are running away from these problems and moving out of the country, losing many kids and the future Greek occupants.

The poster that I came up with shows at once the political problems that have been happening with the fire on the background and the kid running. But then I included the Acropolis, a monument very rich in history and worldwide know showing hope to the Greek people that after so many problems the country still exists.
I used the waving Greek flag blending in with the Acropolis as a sign of relief.
Finally, I put a soldier conveying his courage and expressing to all Greeks "How Now is Time" to get up and fight back for the Greece's independance once again.
I included a Greek saying that comes back alot of years and has a really important meaning.
"Eleutheria i Thanatos" = "Freedom or death".
This is the motto of Greece.It arose during the Greek War of Independence in the 1820s, where it was a war cry for the Greeks who rebelled against Ottoman rule. It was adopted after the Greek War of Independence. It is still in use today, and is a popular theory regarding the use of 9 stripes (for the nine syllables of the motto) in the Greek flag. The motto symbolized and still symbolizes the resolve of the people of Greece against tyranny and oppression.

All the images where gathered and worked on Photoshop.
