UTOPIAN AND DYSTOPIAN CULTURE IN FUTURISTIC FICTION DESIGN

Abstract

There are many works of art that can be considered as futuristic. The term in itself covers a 
large area of any design discipline while it also has many sub-genres(Juan and Ya-Li 
2018)(Poggemeyer 2019). This research focuses on the usage of two different concepts which 
are utopian and dystopian cultures of selected futuristic fictional works of art. Five different 
works and three different samples from those five were taken for inspection resulting in a total 
of fifteen different images representing the example works and were analyzed by the 
researchers in order to gather enough information to make deductions and suggestions for any 
reader who aims to create a futuristic work of art with a concept of utopia or dystopia. Key 
differences were also noted and presented to the reader for comparison and base their future 
work on. In conclusion, definitive key points of both concepts were highlighted and major 
aspects were listed to help the reader better understand the two cultures.
