COP 3 Research Proposal

Identified a question that I can take forward to inform my reading for the dissertation.

Question 1: What is Good? - To what extent does Social Responsibility impact on the role and function of Graphic Design?

Social Responsibility 

Sustainability
Advertising

Underrepresentation?

'To what extent do Technological developments in production and distribution impact on Graphic Design?'

There is potential to pursue my interest in traditional printing technology/methods and explore the impact they have on consumerism.

Compare analogue and digital 

Analogue - Tangible, timeless, distribution of information to the masses, aesthetically pleasing, Ltd edition, sensory, process, materials

Process - Made with the hand

Digital - High res and responsive screens, interactive,

Music - Playlist culture

To what extent have traditional print aesthetics impacted contemporary graphic design?

To what extent does Aesthetic ‘Style’ reflect the context, audience and/or function of contemporary Graphic Design?

Explore the aesthetic qualities of traditional printing processes
