Brief
The class students were asked to do a thematic map to explain the relations between one object to another. My main concentration was the history of Ancient Russia and Greece. I constructed my message around how one country's religion can change not only human beliefs but also the language.
Process
Before starting to work on the assignment, i decided that my artwork will be done by utilizing
I decided to concentrate on 4 critical elements to express my ideas better, such as:
1. The letters - to present a linguistic message
2. Religious bracelets - to highlight religious subcontext
3. The map - to underline geographical points
4. The flags - to clarify the linguistic message
2. Religious bracelets - to highlight religious subcontext

Decisions
To be racially neutral, I used skin colour as a representation of religion, such as blue colour is an Orthodox. For Paganism, I used the grey colour because it represents the neutrality and the God Stribog, who is the God of the wind.
The colour of the right page represents the flag of ancient Russia; also, the book's left page represents Greece's flag. Inside of the circle is the flag of Russia.
On the sides of the book, I used a cross, mixed with the arrow symbol ( to show the Russian letters) and the cross itself as a plus sign between the Glagolitic ( Ancient Russian language) and the Greek alphabet.
The cross shows how two letters mix and create a new Russian letter. In the middle circle were shown the merger of the countries. Their agreement converged on the acceptance of Christianity, which led to the emergence of a new language.
