I have always loved the color usage and contrast, the blending of machinery and people, and the angles and tilts of both the text and the images, within old Soviet propaganda posters and pamphlets.  I’ve always been fascinated with both the look and the feel that these images give the viewer.  There is such a sense of power, pride, control, and advancement within these images that has always captivated me. and also feel that the design and templates used would be both fun and interesting to manipulate myself.
