To Mario: inspiration from an unlikely source
I sketched out what I had in mind that I was telling you about in class Thursday-something you might consider inspiration for your Russian Propaganda poster theme. 3 sequences: (1) City-scape view showing blimbs (or airplanes) dropping sandwiches instead of bombs (perhaps attached to parachutes) (2)Street perspective-people busting out the doors of popular sandwich shops: Quiznos, Subway, etc.) to catch the falling (perhaps gigantic) sandwiches (3)Close-up view of hand grasping sandwich or maybe just the sandwich on its own surrounded by design elements (perhaps without the "Make sandwiches, not war" slogan)
It was funny because I was going to eat with 2 friends and I had my sketchbook I did these sketches in & my friends started looking through it and came across the ads...so we started talking about them and what they meant and what it was for and blah blah...well, turns out as soon as I opened the menu at taco mac-there it was.."Havana Cuban" under the "Sandwich" category, no joke (if you don't believe me, go here:http://www.taco-mac.com/menu_sandwiches.htm)
I didn't say anything at first to see if my 2 friends would mention anything. After a minute I looked up and my friends both smiled at me, i smiled back and said "what?" Shemmy laughed and said "What are you going to order?" .... "Ummmmm...I was thinking about that Cuban Sandwich actually" and both of them immediately started laughing and said, "me too!" Only one of us had to order at this point, which made things easy. The waitress looked at us sorta funny but she didn't know we had just looked at Propaganda which compelled us to order the Cuban...
Unfortunately, we were outside of Atlanta so we couldn't go to Havana.
So there you go man, I'm digging your idea. keep it up
