Technique Used
Simplify Ideas
This is propaganda because
The poster was created during a presidential campaign, in 2008 during the start of a financial crisis.
The poster was a tool to frame Obama as a force for good. With a stoic expression and the dimple tagline of "hope" it frames the Democratic Party as one for progress, without really communicating any higher ideas.
