1. 1984 Propaganda Poster Your assignment is to create a propaganda poster appropriate for the fictional government of INGSOC in George Orwell’s novel 1984. Since George Orwell drew inspiration for his novel from the fear of totalitarianism as he saw it manifested in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia, use propaganda posters from those governments as sources of ideas. You may choose any slogan or motto from 1984, such as “Big Brother is Watching You”, or you can make a poster that promotes the supposed accomplishments of INGSOC.
