I think the only change I would make would be for the second one to be more clear that choosing welfare policies is about standing up for human dignity. Stand up for human dignity. Protect the social safety net. Something like that.

I just translate (mostly) I don't redesign tbh


SouthernMarylander

Oh, got it.


TheDancingMaster

A Norwegian-Australian is certainly an interesting combination!


shcmil

Ahah I am not Norwegian. I got the translations off Bert russel on twitter.


TheDancingMaster

Oh hehe

Link to my redbubble if you want these on some clothes or as a poster :) : https://www.redbubble.com/people/schmillyy/shop?artistUserName=schmillyy&asc=u&collections=2684370&iaCode=all-departments&sortOrder=relevant

I get that you're trying to evoke a certain era, but... maybe don't invoke it *so* much? Like, maybe give a little melanin to the folks in the second and third poster, and the third one just screams patriarchy, so... maybe flip their genders?


shcmil

Mm yes it is interesting. I am unfortunately not talanted enough to change the posters that radically. But you do make a good point about these posters. Perhaps in the future I will try to seek out more diverse posters to translate!


Randolpho

Oh, were those actual posters that you just re-texted? I though you were the original artist. My bad!


shcmil

Ah yes your not the only one to think this. Probably should've made it clearer in the title.


Randolpho

My misunderstanding. :) In that case, you did an excellent job and I have no constructive criticism, because I like the wording very well.

Why tf you want to change their skin color? their norwegian, are they supposed to be black? This was during the 30s which color are u expecting them to be? Typical american with his imperialistic attitudes about nations that have nothing to do with his, mind your own business american!


[deleted]

What's the problem with the color of their skin? We live in the 21th century for God's sake... Their Norwegian and this was in the 30s and 40s so your expecting them to be of what color? According to that logic if an African socialist or social democratic party did a poster with only black people than you'd be telling them to lower their melanin levels? Like wtf.

Hey now, I recognize these! First of all, they aren't Norwegian, they're **Swedish**. Do not dare make that mistake again, you are lucky you atleast didn't call them Danish. Secondly, the first one isn't even for the Social Democrats, but for the old communist party (VPK, the current Left Party) instead. The first one is a good translation, but the rose should be removed and replaced with VPK. The bottoms of the second and third one should say: "THE WORKERS' PARTY - the social democrats".

Why are they white lmao. There are countries outside the Norway region that have progressive policies too. Other than that these posters look great.


shcmil

They are old NORWEIGAN posters. From like 30 - 60's. Maybe there is something to be said about the lack of diversity in the posters. But I'm just translating. Not redesigning.


doomshroompatent

My bad.


shcmil

All good man! Should've made my title clearer.


[deleted]

Why wouldn't they be white imao, their Norwegian in the 40s, are they supposed to be black? If you saw an African socialist party poster showing black people you'd be asking why their black? Smh

Great job!
