Over the course of the year we will attend lectures, seminars and workshops based around 5 different themes that run within the general field of visual communication. Multiple pathways including graphic design, animation, advertising and illustration will complete the same work. I will need to choose one topic to research in depth and produce a 3,000 word essay. The topic areas are:
- Modernism: To what extent have Modernist design principles influenced contemporary Graphic Design?”
- Post-modernism: How did Post-modernism impact Graphic Design practice?
- Gender representation: To what extent does advertising construct our ideas of gender?
- Social/political: Discuss the role that Graphic Design has played in Political and/or social change in a specific period in history.
- Consumerism: What is the relationship between branding and The Consumer Self
I find each topic intriguing, but I already have an idea of which topic I want to explore and this will most likely be modernism as I am fascinated with this movement in art and design and have never written an in depth piece of writing about it.
