Using Banksy's style I have recreated my poster.
Initially adding scribbles from "John", making him seem a little insensitive.
I decided to change the tone of the reed to make it deeper and a little bit more shocking, then moved away from the idea of scribbles and more into the idea of a loss of identity, putting sprays that would be essentially meaningless in the world of graffiti art, over the faces of the soldiers, erasing them of all identity.
Finally I moved to a good balance between the two forms of vandalism, the red paint doubles up in symbolism as the blood of those who sacrificed their lives for our country and died serving under our flag. I also managed to bring back the emphasis of the words that should have a greater impact, and played around with the positioning of the type some more.
The red draws your eye and and make you follow it in a zig zag motion down the page and back up again.
