mitsu,
I have the word propaganda on my site. Touché! I guess you see a lot of that now a days. There are reasons for it though.
The reason for me was that I was very impressed by the way US handles Psyopp. After reading through some documents posted by the Adam the Information Architect I figured there are lessons to be learned from the methods the americans use. To me it is all about learning professionalism.
Design is supposed to reflect the environment it is created in. Our media environment is full of propaganda and messages with hidden agenda so it is no wonder people have lately picked that up. The manipulation is really obvious too and they seem to get away with it.
IMHO using the word propaganda has more meaning (on my site) than a diagonal arrow would have. Off course it could also be considered the new secret handshake for the wannabe designer underground. ;)
