EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous 1940s, as the world was embroiled in the devastating events of World War II, the balance between love and duty was a delicate one. This evocative WW2 poster, titled "By all means walk out with your girl, that's your affair," by renowned graphic designer Victor Hicks, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of care and consideration during wartime. The image features a romantic couple, gazing at the moon under the soft glow of moonlight. However, their focus is not solely on their affectionate moment, as they are also surrounded by large sheets of aluminum, a critical industrial material used extensively during the war effort. The poster's caption urges the couple to "walk round it!" instead of on the aluminum sheets, emphasizing the need for caution and care in preserving valuable resources. This powerful poster, created in the 1940s, is a testament to the unique blend of romance and responsibility that characterized the era. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of war, love and care for one another and for the community were essential. The poster's design, with its evocative imagery and clear, concise message, is a testament to Victor Hicks's skill as a graphic designer and his ability to effectively communicate important messages to the public. As we reflect on the history of World War II and the sacrifices made during that time, this poster stands as a poignant reminder of the balance between love and duty, and the importance of being mindful of the impact of our actions on the world around us.
