We used several propaganda techniques when creating our poster advocating the lowering of the drinking age from twenty-one to eighteen. One technique we used was transfer. We took two well known young celebrities and showed them endorsing drinking at eighteen. We also used the testimonial technique when we "quoted" the celebrities as saying they were for the lowering of the drinking age. And the last technique we used was bandwagon. We wrote things such as, "Celebrities drink. Why can't you?" and "Be like Hollywood's brightest stars! Don't get left out!", so to make people feel like they had to endorse drinking at eighteen, or they would be left out. And that if they wanted to be like their favorite celebrities, they had to drink. We also included a short video, just to further enforce the point that America's youth feels, for the most part, that the drinking age should be lowered. This may pressure others into believing that they, as teenagers, must also share this view point.
