Old Dissertations

After my last tutorial, I have looked at some old dissertations and they have been more helpful than I thought they would be. From the three that I looked at I can see how academically they have to be writtent o achieve a decent grade and also how much research others have done to underrstand what they are writing about. From looking at some bibloiographies on similar topics to my dissertation I have more titles which I can look into.

Typeradio

Loads of podcasts on typography, some relevant to my dissertation. I need to ho through these and make notes and quotes which I can then use in my dissertation and as research. So happy I found this fantastic resource!

Tutorial 2

Progress was slow between my last tutorial and this one as it was only one week and I had focussed on my design practice. I have a direction to go forward with and it has been suggested by Amber that I look at some old dissertations from a few graduates from last year.

Tutorial 1

Dissertation introduction

Dissertation. Started.

I am taking my dissertation very seriously and my aim for the summer was to make a good dent in my research. I think I may have found out too much about too many things, but I am hoping that in a tutorial I can narrow down my search and adjust my title accordingly.

Dissertation proposal

Dissertation proposal - approved!

Some great feedback into the direction that interests me.

New technology & Typography

Possible themes...

I think I want to look into typography and the relationship between handrawn and digital, as trends to use hand-rendered type has increased in recent years.

A chat with Fred and Richard has helped me to settle this down further to look into the rise of handrawn typography and in this I could look at the history of handrawn and why we may be reverting back to this.
