Now, if this doesn't violate some sort of copyright infringement or piss someone off with how politically incorrect it is, then I am going to be very angry.

For digital imaging we had to make a digital image around the theme of fascism. I'm not a very politically involved person, so I chose the only politics I was familiar with- that of the GALACTIC EMPIRE. Actually, I'm kidding... I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I think he's one of the most recognizable characters of evil in fiction next to say, Hannibal, and he is a bit of a fascist, so I decided to do a series of images which combined propaganda/hype images with Darth Vader as the figurehead.

This one is based off of a Communist propoganda poster from the 60's which was originally celebrating Mao. The original said "Behold the red sun that will lead us to glory," and I wanted to rewrite it to say "behold the black sun that will lead us to glory" because I thought that was a good reference to vader/death star, etc. However, I don't know chinese even though i am half, so i rewrote it in engrish. Hehe. Anyone get my potshot at ST?

Oh man, I'm going to get shot.

:rofl: I can say you did a great job using SW for the propaganda making, I don't think this violates any laws at all. Great and cool work :thumbsup:

hay.
haha, I caught this on the front page. Very clean look to this, and I love the black, red and white.

Hey, offensive/controversial pieces are the best! Myself, this doesn't really offend and or... controverse...(not even a word... or a possiblility) me. It's hard to do that. Well, not really, you just have to know which button to push.


EEEENYWAYY.... great job!

How do you get holy water? Boil the hell out of it?
:lmao: So wrong. Yet hilarious. And we were just talking about that scene from the Christmas Story too. Coincidence? Or providence?
WHY OH WHY is Vader giving the Vulcan sign for "live long and prosper." Now you're insulting fictional races as well? You've hit a new low ;)
Amusing! Funny that Vader should use the vulcan sign of greeting. :XD:

Absolutely hilarious! A great piece to :+fav:!

I like this Gorrem my friend, very much. keep on postin'.
"Anyone get my potshot at ST" What is this ST you speak of? I am confused. Very funny very cool and graphically appealing. I' m taking digital imaging next semester. I think its with the same teacher you had? Which teacher did you have? Maybe I have steve's teacher? Anyway, what classes are you taking next semester? Will you use them for good or for awesome?
hoorah

I love the old propaganda posters (they are so much more viscerally appealing than anything governments produce today) and i love this idea... ^_^
