SUSAN Moazenzadeh, War Propaganda
grafisch ontwerp

I believe human rights have been blurred by some neglect in our world. During my first project, I was passionate to discover the responsibility of graphic designers to inform people about the war. Besides, I wanted to examine the negative or positive role of graphic design works during the war. Therefore, I studied the Iraq war (2003-2015) and collected thoughtful propaganda images from websites and books.
As a second project, I designed an anti-war activity book for the general public with pen drawings on each page. Most of them are satirical work on the political powers of the world. Those drawings are a backlash against making war. Some of them make an activity for everyone, such as coloring or finding a way, but instead of being fun, it makes people think.
As a third project, I reproduced lists of election candidates of different mediums. I blacked out those papers by brush and manual printing with wood and glass (black ink, acrylic). Moreover, I not only changed their original design to a new look but also changed their goals in order to show how politicians during history implemented wrong policy measures, resulting in e.g. making people hate each other, making biowarfare or war, and exporting weapons of war to other countries.
First project,
In this project by researching on the Iraq War (2003-2015), plenty of thoughtful propaganda images from both sides of the war and antiwar activities have been collected in one book.
As a second project,
I designed an anti-war activity book for all people in which all of the pages are consisting my pen drawing. Most of them are satirical work on the political powers of the world. Those drawing are a backlash against making war. Some of them make an activity for everyone, such as coloring or finding a way, but instead of being fun, it makes people think.
As a third project,
I redesign lists of election candidates with different mediums and blacked out those papers by brush and manual printing with wood and glass (black ink, acrylic). Moreover, I not only changed their original design to a new look but also changed their goals in order to show how politicians during history did wrong policy, including; making people hate each other, making biowarfare or war, and exporting weapons of war to other countries.
