I particularly like this image as it's vibrant, bright, and somewhat comical.
After looking at the other propaganda posters, I want to create a real sense of opposition, so I plan to use social network giants Facebook and Twitter. I want it to be promoting Twitter whilst making Facebook look "bad". To achieve this, I plan to use the Facebook logo "F" as, or part of, the hook. By turning the F upside down and pointing the tip I may be able to make it a hook. However, there is a very high chance that the upside down F may look like the Twitter 'T'. If the idea of using the F as a hook doesn't work visually, I would like to make the F as bait on the image. I plan to use a similar font, and making an individual letter stand out (like the 'S' in "sucker")
I would like to use a colour scheme similar to this image, so that it's recognisable. The colour scheme will consist of reds and yellows (body), blues and whites (water), and gray and black (text)
In regards to texture, you can see that this original has very textured gradients on the mouth, body, fin, and tail. Whilst I think this effect works in the original, it may prove hard to recreate. For one, there may be technical issues. My other concern is that by texturing the fish, the Facebook 'F' will look out of place, as it will be a solid, modern object. A way around this would be to texture the Facebook 'F', but this may make it not as familiar and it may lose impact and effect.
