Q&A to the Combination of Objects to make a Poster

Why might the artist have used the particular setting?
 To give it a show of depth with the different colors of blue and the scale between the people and the cave. It would give the viewer the feel of what the cave would actually look like in real life.
figure/ground relationships?
The figure and ground relationship is by the scale from the people to the inside of the cave. The artist keeps the same layout throughout the poster.  
figure/figure relationships?
The relationship from figure to figure is about the same as above, but the figures are more simplified than the cave which is more detailed by layering shadows.
What is the artists saying with the composition?
 The artist is using the cave as most of the composition with part of the cave in front of the poster and far away with different colors back to back to show the depth and scale.
What is the artists saying with light?
The artist is showing light by having a focal point to the right where the light is shining through and beaming on the cave and the people just a little to give depth.
How might you evoke similarly without any text?
By creating flat objects with depth and combining it all together to make one flowing composition.
 How might you change the mood without any text in a manner that stays true to the original artwork?
By analyzing the objects I have made and decide how to make them true to the original poster, but make them my own with a mood with the character I have picked and making the other objects come together as one piece.

Posters for the Paper Bomb Reading

Patriotism- the product sells that it is American made and if you are American than you should buy it.

Simple Solutions- explaining a little about the product but getting to the point about the problem and how to solve it by buying this product with a concrete floor and foundation.

Wit and Humor-using women as the main focus, but the oil for machines that the men use in the war. Clashing fuel for the machines and fuel for men that the women should be doing at home.
