Module Overview:
This module requires you to produce an illustrated and designed written project of 6000-8000 words (or equivalent) relating to your specific research interests and/or relevant to a specific area of design. It enables you to:
  • build on the research and critical skills acquired in other areas of the programme
  • explore various modes of articulating and presenting ideas within written and visual forms
Additional Information:This module requires students to produce an illustrated and designed written project that is related to their specific research interests and/or relevant to a specific area of design. The subject matter for this piece of work will emerge through discussions with the student over the course of study. The outcome could take the form of an exegesis of a body of practical work or the project could critically explore the ethical, philosophical, theoretical, socio-political or professional context of graphic design and/or illustration. Students will be introduced to the ideas of practice based research and theory during the Research and Practice module culminating in a short research proposal or statement of intent presented to staff and peers. This module enables students to continue to develop their individual practice within a more considered theoretical framework, as well as exploring other aspects of contemporary graphic design and illustration theory and/or practice within a wider social context.
