Item Restricted Rave Art : the Evolution of Graphic Design in Rave Culture(2023) Daniela Aivazian; Bernhardt, Anna; Goodwin, Amara; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The thesis delves into the intricate world of rave art and its evolution within the broader context of rave culture. Originating in the late '80s, rave culture rapidly gained global traction, influencing not just music but also fashion and visual art. The thesis critically examines both the historical and contemporary aspects of graphic design used in promoting raves and shaping the identity of the culture itself. Special attention is paid to the emergence and propagation of the rave culture's ideological cornerstone, PLUR-Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. The methodology adopted is a mixed-method approach, including interviews with individuals active in the '90s rave scene and an aesthetic analysis of rave flyers to identify evolving design elements. The study aims to contribute to the fields of graphic design, art history, and cultural studies by offering a comprehensive view into how design has been instrumental in both the growth and representation of rave culture and its associated art forms.
