I'm editing an official map right now and it's going to feature some NF accents and details. Since it's gonna be a part of empires base content I want to get the lore and style right. Soviet style propaganda posters and murals are specifically what I'm looking at, I've made these so far: Anyone else have any good images, or ideas? Even the roughest of creations could make a good decal. Any ideas or suggestions for just making something look NF-y?
Id look through google for some material but their "muh policy changes" shit just anoys me way too much.

If you just kinda graze over most of it with the burn tool in paint.NET or GIMP then you can easily give it that aged poster feeling
WIP of another mural (will look better downsized and grunged up): Suggestions for what the text should be? I'm thinking relatively meta like "Refineries are our strongest weapon" or something. source for this one: https://seminariofascismo.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/1941-more-metal-more-weapons.jpg source for the poster: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f5/3f/9d/f53f9dc304765e8747c405acb2702422.jpg
This one's perfect, it looks just like BE that'll work as a nice scrappy poster decal. IMO the best way to add grunge/weathering is just grab something from google images "paper grunge texture", paste it as the top layer, and set the layer mode to grain merge. You might have to desaturate it and play with the lightness/contrast a bit but but it can make an MSpaint sketch look pretty realistic.
Really lazy? Hes editing some of the actual posters. Dont you see the 1941 in the signature of the latest post?
Here's a quick edit I did to spike's image. Will look great as a small poster somewhere. Here's the GIMP source file if you wanna see the steps to make it, it's pretty simple: add a layer mask, paint the edges with a black grunge brush and then increase the contrast to give it hard edges. And yeah, just editing existing ones, I can't actually draw or paint.
Suggestion : make some varieties and have some be intentionally defaced, like with sprayed on "LIES" or somesuch.
