| Abstract/Description: | The intention of this thesis is to explore the innate human desire to pursue an ideal existence. This compulsion recurs throughout history, regardless of race, religion, or geography, revealing itself through multiple disciplines such as art, design, film, music, and architecture. Humankind’s propulsion towards utopia evidences the human condition and our desire to create an improved existence for ourselves and for those who follow. It is this idyllic goal that promotes change, social progress, and ultimately unites humankind. This thesis will inform and facilitate a platform from which to experience and reflect upon our collective utopian ambition through the lens of graphic design. | |
