The conclusion will summarise and bring the project together and consider the post-war development of the poster. Has the poster simply become an adjunct to television campaigns, or a publicity stunt for the newspapers. Can the internet be considered a modern day ‘poster’? How has propaganda developed since the war, to the prevalence of ‘Spin Doctors’ in the current day? How did the MOI develop into the Central Office of Information in 1946, which still exists, unlike after the First World War when the MOI was shut down at the earliest opportunity? We will look at each of the case studies and see how the issues of wartime developed post war, for instance from VD campaigns to the AIDS crisis campaigns of the 1980s. This chapter highlights areas for further research.
