Need some help finding iconic / retro warning messages for a meme idea
posted ago by Farmerbob1 ago by Farmerbob1 +26 / -0

For example, "Don't take candy from strangers" "Don't get into a car with someone you don't know" "Don't accept a drink at a party from a stranger."

Not just those messages either, I'd love to have many to choose from.

Anyone know a good source of old social warning messages?

Do an image search for SPANISH FLU PROPAGANDA some of the themes and editorial cartoons may surprise you at their familiarity to today.

I have some old public service type books/pamphlets. I’ll post ideas if I find any good or appropriate ones...

Meh. I can't find anything that jumps out at me. Lots of the stuff linked below is awesome but I can't make the connection.

Here's the idea, if anyone else wants to run with it.

4-frames. Three frames with images of warning messages related to getting 'free' stuff or gifts. Then the fourth frame with Crazy Bernie offering Socialism.

The best I could come up with was:

Frame 1: Picture of child refusing candy from a stranger. Frame 2: Picture of child running from a stranger in a car. Frame 3: Picture of a young woman refusing a party drink labeled 'roofie.' Frame 4: Picture of Bernie offering a Soviet Union flag.

I just couldn't find four images that went well together and I'm not a good enough artist or photoshopper to make it happen.

Meme idea is free to a good home, if anyone is interested.
