During this module we will be producing the following;
- A series of practical work and a 3000 word essay relating to this.
- Blog posts documenting work, research notes and any other relevant information.
Regarding the essay we have been given a series of titles which over the next 3 weeks we will explore. After this period of time we are to select a title for which we will research and produce related work over the next year. The titles include;
- Modernism
- Postmodernism
- Gender Representation
- Social/Political
- Consumerism
Along with tutor guidance, I will use the resources available on e-studio to make an informed decision about the title I wish to explore. We were encouraged by our tutors to select a title which will help us develop in an area of graphic design we wish to work in in the future, however this is not necessary.
We must include a bibliography with at least 10 sources referenced using the Harvard system. Obviously the wider your range of research the better your work will be as a result. Of course, we were strongly advised to keep away from sites such as wikipedia, but also to be aware of quoting designers blogs.
Several books were recommended to us as forms of research such as "A short guide to writing about art". I plan to make the most of the library resources and explore as many of these books as possible in order to give myself a foundation of thorough research.
