Mediaboss Marketing

Much like in the console vs PC, iOS vs Android, and Mac vs Windows battles, there are social network fanboys. There are Facebook fans who scoff at Twitter, Twitter fans who think Google+ is a ghost town, and G+ fans who think the other social networks are for less evolved creatures. In fact, it gets so bad sometimes that members of the media have cheekily referred to these conversations as battles in the Social Networking War. Graphic Designer Aaron Wood is no stranger to social networks, but seeing these verbal and literal skirmishes over social networks drove him to put together a collection of fantastically amusing social propaganda posters in a book.

The book, titled They Wanted a War, So I Made it a War is a collection of 26 posters with a page explaining the inspiration behind each. These posters look like propaganda posters, with each social network as a warring faction. Its brilliant in a satirical, social commentary sort of way.

Each of the posters has an original design that incorporates highly recognizable themes from each of the social networks, like Googles +1 and Facebooks thumbs up. Wood doesnt just focus just on Twitter/Google/Facebook, the book also shows love to sites like Pinterest and some extra love for pop culture items like Doctor Who. Each of the images in the book offers a great laugh, and a sobering realization that whether or not someone likes your social network really isnt that important.

They Wanted a War, So I Made it a War is available in his Etsy store for $40, and each image in the book can also be bought from his store in 11 x 14-inch poster size.

Pick it up at Etsy.
