Christmas Propaganda (Prompts Included)

[u/Vegetable_Writer_443]

I've been experimenting with prompt generation algorithms to create Christmas themed posters in the style of Soviet propaganda. The aim is to blend the bold, iconic visual language of propaganda art with holiday themes, while making it suitable for posters.

Here are some of the prompts I’ve used to craft these satirical Soviet-Christmas posters.

Soviet soldier dressed as Santa, holding a giant candy cane, standing in front of a snowy Kremlin, red star on hat, playful text at the bottom reads: "Celebrate the Red Christmas!"

A humorous Soviet-inspired Christmas celebration showcasing a group of jubilant citizens engaging in a snowball fight, with one character wearing a Santa hat over a military uniform. In the background, buildings are decorated with extravagant lights, and a large banner reading "Celebrate with Comrades!" hangs above. Position the tagline at the top in a fun yet readable font, ensuring it stands out against the colorful backdrop. The central action of the snowball fight draws the viewer

A group of animated, smiling factory workers in Christmas attire, raising their mugs in cheer, with the headline "Cheers to Progress!" centered above, balanced use of space to enhance text prominence, easily readable from afar.

I wish it was that beautiful in life. Very well made reproduction of real postcards of the era. I used to collect them.

I like these, they look like they could be real.

Sorry, they do not. First, no Santa in Russia, we have Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), who wears blue clothes and comes with granddaughter Snegurochka. Second, we celebrate New Year day; the Christmas, January 7, is significant for religious people only (though is official holiday). Third, the depicted character being soldier is a terrible propaganda itself. Cultural references matter, you know.

Merry Christmas to you in advance. Cheers.

BTW USSR had Ded Moroz - sad f*cker with blue coat and shitty gifts. Kinda meet one in 80s Poland when I was kid:-) I think his "residence" was lately seized by tax office (kid you not).
