Project Details

The Senior Capstone Project is a multifaceted body of work that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience. As students, we were tasked with developing a self-directed, multi-dimensional thesis project to make tangible the comprehensive graphic design thesis research paper started in Thesis Studio and Writing. Through combining creative problem-solving, design prototyping, design refinement, our efforts culminated in a final exhibition.

This capstone project examines the evolution of Soviet political propaganda from the early 20th century in effort to undestand its role in enabling the Ukranian Holodomor genocide. It focuses on how the Soviets transformed common Eastern European cultural symbols into tools of propaganda that were used to divide a population.
