In the tumultuous era of the First World War, the
propaganda posters of England serve not only as
documents of a war but also as evidence of the
historical evolution of visual communication. The
First World War, in addition to being a major conflict,
has gone down in history as a poster war or a
propaganda battle. Visual propaganda was a critical
strategy employed by England to mobilize its own
people for the war effort and, simultaneously, to
influence its adversaries. Using the power of design,
this strategy shaped the beliefs and participation of
the public in the war. The visual content analysis in
this study meticulously examines the details of
posters from the era, reflecting the spirit of the time
while also highlighting the strong influence of graphic
design in political history. This analysis contributes to
a better understanding of how the public was guided
through visual propaganda, the attitudes of the
people of that era towards the war, and the effects
of the war on societal dynamics.

Artificial intelligence has become a new form of expression within our digitally evolving lives. By using illustrations to narrate stories visually, it's possible to visualize cultural values, traditions, and myths, making them more understandable. Fusing traditional storytelling techniques with the digital capabilities of new technologies like artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for revitalizing stories and traditional narratives, adding a new dimension to these tales and myths. Understanding how we can revive traditional narratives and myths is crucial in grasping their role in preserving cultural heritage and passing it down to future generations. Therefore, comprehending how artificial intelligence can be utilized in this field is essential. This study examines how traditions and myths can be revived through artificial intelligence, addressing fundamental concepts like AI and graphic design. To achieve this, some legendary characters from Turkish mythology were selected, and reconstructions of these characters were created in the Midjourney application, contrasting with previous illustration examples. This research article is believed to contribute to defining this contemporary technology in today's ever-changing world and tomorrow's design, where it redefines the design concept.
