Creative Study of poster design on Universal Declaration of Human Rights / 世界人權宣言海報設計創作研究

碩士 / 國立雲林科技大學 / 視覺傳達設計系 / 102 / In 1948, the UDHR was adopted by the Assembly of the United Nations, aimed at guaranteeing basic human rights. This declaration simply makes regulations but there is not substantial binding force. Yet, it has been the first internationally standardized regulations of basic human rights. However, in the light of the ever-advanced and modernized society, many incidents involving human rights just come beyond easy judgment as to whether they are done right or wrongly. The legalization of one’s standpoint becomes harder and harder to be definite. As a result, in defining human right concepts, the regulators tend to scheme rather subjectively, unable to think comprehensively for its effect on or potential harm to other victims.Accordingly, I hope to focus my study on the 30 codes in the “UDHR” as my themes of the posters. I have conceptualized all the posters so as to move the scenes of these social issues to the modern times, to contrast and for one and all to reflect on them respectively, hopefully providing the viewers a comprehensive awareness of these human right events.This creative study went through a few following stages: use document analysis to probe into the related literature on the poster designs of UDHR. Based on literature review, it was found that there were contradiction in-between subjective viewpoints and objective viewpoints. 30 controversial social issues were chosen as provoked by the UDHR and these issues were led to poster design creation. A poster exhibit with questionnaire was planned and executed afterward, so as to find out the research results. Finally, conclusion and suggestions were made. According to the data from the questionnaire, this creative study has achieved its expected result. Because of the time changes, many human rights incidents happened because each of the two parties has its standpoint and the conflicts often happened because the two parties were not able to find a balancing point or the balancing point has lost its significance. In the conclusion, it is suggested that only through everyone’s tolerance and respect for one and another can there be rooms for human rights improvements. In the aspects of poster design, the analysis showed that the images of doves, people, and hands were most often adopted as visual interpretation to symbolize human rights. These visual elements are therefore recommended for human rights designs in the future.
