Ideas

I was essentially told to redo my context of practice proposal. I like the idea of doing a critical take on graphic design for my dissertation but apparently not as Simon said it would be too critical and wouldn't work. I was talking to Evie and she said that I could do something with modern-day propaganda and how viral propaganda is really harmful to society in general. I'm not quite sure yet running out of time really, I'm really lost. I want to do some type based project assess what I like to do I feel like I need to find something slightly nice but not too niche in order to have actual research on it already to have something to base it on I don't know what that would be I was thinking of doing like persuasion of typography possibly but that might also be too vague said after 2 something within it. Possibly do persuasion of typography within something but I don't want to do advertisement marketing or maybe I do I don't know. Distrust I don't know what's happening we don't have a timetable I feel like I can't run properly and I don't know what practical bit I would do with it. What I could do if I did the modern propaganda idea I could do a serious of propaganda through the ages. Because it within the essay I'd have to do some historical backing to it in addition to showcase the current situation in how type and images used to persuade the public. It might be quite interesting to look into some bits of propaganda used within the medical field especially with the pandemic but I don't want to do a pandemic based project either. 

I'm also intrigued about the idea of doing something within consumerism which is partly my initial idea as it wanted to poke holes in an old concept of consumerism. I'm not sure how I'd visualize that in a graphic design project though. I feel like the sum of the possibilities for making that work but I might need to focus on one bit of consumerism. Since I've been working in an electrical warehouse for the whole summer I had an idea of doing consumerism of technology and how brands renew a model E tier but only changing a couple of things and not really improving on a project and branding it as something brand new and that you have to have.
