Default Graphic design : Communism/Nazism

Hi,

I am a forthyear masterstudent graphicdesign and typography from Belgium.
And for my graduation year I have one big project to work on, and make a thesis round.
My topic is communism and Nazism, I want to make all the graphic design this year arround the certain way of communicating the communists, and the Nazi-germans did.
I want to use there language(pictural) and there icons,symbols, typography, colours,language... in a different context. I want to place them in a different context so the spectator gets to see an image/poster/book design that reminds him about communism or nazism, but the message behind the poster will be somethng completely different. And I need them to think about the real message behind the work
I realise this is one hell of a task, and I really cant find people who did something simmilar before (or are working in the same trend as I do)
That is why I want to ask you guys if you might know contemporary designers, who worked with the pictural language of those WW2 groups, so I can get in touch with them, and find more information about the topic I am working round. Or maybe you are interested in what I am willing to do, and want to join me with some discussing,brainstorming,designing,...
I would like to hear from you!

Thanks in advance.
Dries
