Young people are often the subject of analysis and are constantly subjected to criticism; they fervently compare themselves with older generations. But who are these young individuals, where do they come from, what has molded them, and what or who has shaped them into who they are now, where they stand today, and what they engage in? In my dissertation, I portrayed the lives of young people through a series of posters. My objective was to merge typography and illustration through the medium of posters, while also investigating and illustrating young people through distinctive and personal narratives from their lives. In the theoretical segment of my dissertation, I endeavored to demonstrate that posters serve not merely as advertising tools but as valuable conduits for expressing ideas, viewpoints, and messages. The research is grounded in an unconventional survey, providing insights into the experiences and perspectives of young generations. A tailored approach to question formulation facilitated more personalized responses. Essays received in response were translated into visual messages, culminating in a series of posters. For each of the three posters, I conducted an analysis of their content and descriptions. Subsequently, I created a zine derived from the individual elements depicted in the posters.
