A little bit of an update and a reflection on my draft essays for interim submission...
I have now written and refined my essays to the point that I am happy with them and ready to submit. I think my image analysis is really in-depth and looks at the images from a variety of different stand-points, drawings comparisons from Zeegen's quote and debunking, it in a way. The images I have chosen are all illustrative in nature, with an overarching theme of politics, and show a deep understanding of design thinking and design doing, comment and content.
There is definitely room for improvement though, especially in terms of a theoretical lens in my triangulation piece. While I have looked at a variety of books, magazines, newspapers, manifestos, blog posts and websites, I couldn't find any relevant theoretical texts. This will most certainly be flagged up in my feedback and I am ready to improve on that!
I am so proud of my bibliography though. I found last year, during the Access to HE course, when writing my Postmodernism essay on whether a certain children's book could be considered Postmodern, that I enjoyed Harvard Referencing. A LOT. I think it has something to do with my sense of organisation, to the point of immaculacy at times, and how I love systematically sorting through information and making sure things are labelled correctly! This goes for all aspects of my life as a result of my severe visual impairment... everything has to have its place so that I know where it is!
