Hello, I’m teaching an Introduction to Graphic Design course, 100-level, in the USA. One of the assignments is for students to design a poster, usually on a theme. As I find many college students are stunned when I talk about propaganda (i.e. ‘we’ [colllectively] do it, not just the ‘enemy’). I came across your research and would like to incorporate some of your research into my students’ readings. Please respond (with ‘yes!’ 🙂
For sure, just reference them to here.
