Abstract
This research focuses on the use of graphic arts in prints and propaganda between
Malaysia and China since the 1950s until 2015. The main objectives are to investigate
whether different country of different governing system uses the same visual graphic
art for print and propaganda, its future within the context of an increasingly borderless
world and the effects of an emergence new technology in digital communication tools.
By focusing on the issues of ‘comparable data’ or search for comparable phenomena,
4 major aspects of study have been established for comparative analysis on the roles of
graphic arts in prints and propaganda between these two countries. They are “National
Campaign, Patriotism, Leadership Struggle and Anti-Establishment”. Based on the
comparative study and analysis, it showed that government system has no implication
on the development of graphic arts in both countries as they adopted the similar
strategies and techniques in print for political propaganda. Although graphic arts
will continue to command an important role in print and propaganda for Malaysia
and China, its application and implications will be no longer be the same due to the
emergence of new digital technology.
