Bad countries & good countries? (Which are which?)

I need a unique poster, not like to copy one from before.

A lot of propaganda posters in the US focused on conservation on the homefront as well as the issue of liberty bonds as an enticement for people to enlist in the armed forces.
People were encouraged to eat less meat, donate metal scraps, and save food.
Here is a link to a site with propaganda posters from several countries. Try using this site to get some ideas.

Good guys: France, Russia, British Empire, United States, and Italy (from 1915 until the end of the war)
Bad guys: Austro-Hungarian, German, and Ottoman Empire
EDIT: Obviously I am not encouraging you to copy any posters from the website I listed. As indicated in the answer above, I thought that you might be able to get some ideas and see the style of the posters.

How about using the sinking of the Lusitania as a propaganda poster? The British used to do that as a way to recruit for the armed forces, I think.

in response to Kate, Italy was on the bad side in the beginning of the war, so depending on what time period of the war you are talking about Italy could be on either side.
