Description:

Are political posters still viable in the age of Twitter and Facebook? Judge for yourself as we explore international graphics of dissent and how these forms have adapted to new technology and emerging media. Posters of Persuasion from Cuba, China, Germany, zimbabwe, Israel, and others will provide a broad historical context of visual communication strategies. The most effective posters are able to inspire, illuminate, inform, stimulate, and agitate us through the manipulation, juxtabpositions, and interpretation of metaphors, images, symbols and typography. You will create from concept through production posters based upon social cultural issues or public service campaign. The exploration of different media and creative techniques will be encouraged as traditional skills are mediated through CS4-Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
