Final upload for this course (SP7, Module 2)

As far as I am concerned, I am quite confused as to what the teacher expects from me so I have taken a stab in the dark and uploaded my final assessment for the course (CUVOR503A - Diploma of Graphic Design).  I don't know what the teacher likes or doesn't, and as far as I know, the appreciation of art is a subjective thing.  Hence, people are hard to please (sometimes, even teachers can be difficult).  This is one thing I need to learn about being a good artist - even Walt Disney had his fair share of knock backs and this did not stop him (even though his work was good compared to mine).  Anyway, here are a few more graphics for this course.


In this instance, we see the use of a swastika in ancient Hebrew script, alongside the star of David in the theosophical seal, the actual 'Third Reich' swastika, and a surveyor's marking which was mistaken for a swastika.

This timeline pertains to the Finnish Nationalist Movement as well as the National Socialist Black Metal movement: Finland was under both Swedish and Russian control for a very long time, and like many large countries, it has many 'minority' groups, like the Sami (who lead very different lifestyles from the mainstream Finnish).  I wrote about the band, Impaled Nazarene - they emerged at about the same time as the Norwegian NSBM bands like Mayhem and Burzum, however, they weren't implicated in the burning down of the churches like the Norwegian bands were.
The Navajo/Dine - We can see from this timeline that the Navajo associate the Swastika with good luck and prosperity, and call the swastika a 'whirling log'.  They aren't the only Native American tribe to use swastikas but the symbol carries significant meanings for them.
