Week 3 - This contemporary piece of Propaganda art is a movie poster for the first Spider-Man film. It depicts Spider-Man in the image perched on the American flag with a shot of New York City in the background and a slogan on the bottom that claims, "With great power comes great responsibility."The intended audience would be movie-goers, American citizens specifically. The message in this piece of propaganda art is that Spider-Man is a upstanding American citizen who must have great power and thus great responsibility according to the slogan. Transfer is also used. The American flag is blatantly obvious, and the creator of this piece wants the viewer to associate the positive stereotypes of the flag with Spider-Man and thus the movie, and go to see it. This piece of Propaganda makes use of a glittering generality with it's use of "With great power comes great responsibility" without context.
