Project Summary

A mobile-focused site featuring over 600 WWII propaganda posters grouped by category and type.

 

United We Will Win: WWII Posters that Mobilized a Nation was Fort Missoula’s featured exhibit for 2012. The site features over 600 WWII propaganda posters grouped by category and type.

I designed the site to be responsive and work across devices so that museum patrons could use QR codes in the physical exhibit to see posters related to those on display.  The collection of WWII posters Fort Missoula has possession of is quite impressive and I am very excited to have helped bring them to a larger audience!
