С. 65-67http://csbc.edu.ua/documents/student/26052026.pdfhttps://dr.csbc.edu.ua/handle/123456789/2274This research, developed within a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) framework, utilizes a structured visual-analytical collage to investigate the divergent professional landscapes of the graphic design industry in Ukraine and Texas, USA. By focusing on advertising, corporate branding, and web development, the study explores how geopolitical instability, regulatory frameworks, and cultural norms dictate the success of creative ventures. The collage serves as the primary methodological tool, mapping "necessity entrepreneurship" in a conflict zone against investment-driven entrepreneurship in a stable corporate market.enHUMANITIES and RELIGION::History and philosophy subjects::History subjects::Technology and cultureHUMANITIES and RELIGION::Aesthetic subjects::ArtINTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS::Cultural heritage and cultural productionSOCIAL SCIENCES::Business and economics::Business studiesThesis
