What is Viscom? Context and Brief

Context:

I want to practice my illustration and drawing skills, learn how to print and etch, and research propaganda, conspiracy theory and counter culture.

I also want to produce a body of work based around this research aimed at convincing / persuading or informing people of an issue using an appropriate medium to the style of propaganda art. I also want to deepen my understanding of propaganda and times in history when propaganda was epecially prevalent.

Brief:

Produce a sequence of images based on the research I've conducted into propaganda. Conduct research into what makes effective propaganda by gauging audience responses to the work and attempt to create some effective propaganda for an idea or cause.

Rationale:

First conduct research into propaganda through history and into what has been most effective.

Begin to make sketches of ideas for pieces of propaganda and produce as many as possible, getting audience research along the finding out what was effective and what wasnt. Use print making techniques to create these using the idea that they would need to be mass produced cheaply in a live brief. Record this in a similar way to how we did on "Design for Audiences."
