In my thesis I investigate the historical, economic, social, and political effects on design itself but the opposite point of view is also becoming clear, that the contribution of the design has an impact on the economic and ideological motivations of all times. I consider it important to draw attention to the connections between design and war – mainly until the period of 1970’s of the Cold War – because what defines and dominates over our consumer society is nothing else but the design itself which became the key element of the economic boom after the II World War. The aim of my research is to prove the key importance of design in the modern commodity and sales, which is the result of the events that happened during the Second World War and the Cold War. Furthermore I’d like to reveal the facts that the political leaders used design as a tool in order to achieve their pursuit of power, I will confirm these several times.
