Cop initial ideas / continued thoughts from last year

Themes explored last year: 

• The relationship between technology and mindfulness
• The emergence of print media into a 'golden age' 
• The value of the handmade over digital

Prominent theorists/research: 

• Leslie, J (2013) 'The modern magazine, visual journalism in the digital era' London: King Publishing
• Jamieson, R (2015) 'Print is dead. Long live Print' London, Munich & New York: Prestal Verlag
• Burrell, I (2014) 'Looks good on paper: Forget tablet editions - a new wave of young independent publishers is producing wonderful hard-copy titles' [internet] http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/looks-good-on-paper-forget-tablet-editions-a-new-wave-of-young-independent-publishers-is-producing-9139520.html [19/11/15]

prominent illustrators/practitioners within my visual investigation:

• Jake Hollings
• Jean Jullien
• Yukai Du

I found what I wrote about in my essay and explored visually within context of practice last year interesting, however I think within this years module I would like to move onto another subject. Although, most obviously, what I learnt last year through researching and gaining better understanding of these themes still and will influence my work e.g. my preference for the handmade over digital processes.
