Abstract: Peace posters serve as a vital conduit for disseminating the tenets of peace and advocating against armed conflict. They facilitate a public discourse on the concept of peace, prompting reflection and fostering a deeper understanding of its nuances. Peace posters are not merely a collection of graphics and text; rather, they are a complex and nuanced form of communication. The image within the poster carries a profound connotation, reflecting the intricate relationship between the various elements. These living images are not isolated or static; they are continuously produced, disseminated, and accepted within a cyclical process. This dynamic interplay shapes the evolution of society, enabling the development of deeper meanings. These vivid images are not isolated static objects; rather, they are situated within a dynamic cycle of production, dissemination, and reception. As such, they derive additional meanings over time as society evolves. This paper employs image research methods to examine the connotations of images in peace posters from the vantage point of image reproduction and interaction. It elucidates how these images can effectively resonate with viewers' psychology, expeditiously convey the message of peace, and fulfill the function of calling for peace, thereby constructing a distinctive attitude toward peace and its value.
