Wow - week 8 already?!

Darren Wall was so interesting to… Continue reading GDE720 – Week 8 : Research
My initial research took me down a path of looking into York's history and the changes and developments to architecture along the way. However, the more I researched, the more I realised there are SO many books out there comparing York's past and York's old buildings. It's been done time and time again and it's… Continue reading GDE720 – Week 7 : Workshop Challenge
This week, it's content review, editting and reflection - I'm always so interested in the relationship between writer, designer, editor and publisher, all working together in harmony to achieve the outcome required for the audience.

Take Adrian shaughnessy who left Intro Design Studio to begin writing and lecturing in design - It's really interesting to find out what makes an artist or graphic… Continue reading GDE720 – Week 5 : Research
I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this week. I'm a lover of books, I love the tangible nature of print and I love reading. I do own a kindle, purely because when I do read, I read quickly - and sometimes I just want to power through a good book rather than consider… Continue reading GDE720 – Week 5 : Workshop Challenge
Following on from our analysis of the given infographics last week, we're now looking at creating our own from a source we find interest in personally. This weeks topic, Projecting a New Perspective, Interpreting Emerging Trends has been fascinating in terms of research and understanding of what makes a good piece of visual information. It's… Continue reading GDE720 – Week 4 : Research
