I decided it would be beneifical to bullet point the areas in which my dissertation will in order to get more organised. This is basically an up-to-date, consolodated/sicint essay plan:
Points
to Cover
Chapter
1- Theories and Contexts
- The arrival of modernism in graphic design – cover structuralism
- Its key figures and notable examples of work
- The supposed departure of modernism and the birth of postmodernism – cover post-structuralism, a critique of modernism or an extension of its ideas?
- Key protagonists and notable examples of work
- Introduce the idea that these movements can be considered as binary
- Explore the deconstructivist movement which appeared from postmodernism
- Outline the fact that there is an apparent lack of a defining term for the current moment? Comment on why this may be the case
Chapter
2 – The Role of Graphic Design
- Explore the role of the designer – if work and movements are to be deconstructed, then surely the same treatment must be applied to the role of the practitioner?
- Explore the concept of simulacra and the combining of styles and its influence on contemporary aesthetics and contribution to a lack of definitive term?
Chapter
3 – Looking at the Now
- Discuss key examples of contemporary work
