Question: "How is printmaking used in contemporary graphic design?"
V&A- Prints are a vital and vibrant link between the museum and the market place, the elite and the everyday.
I have taken out some books in the library where I can start to research the following points:
Look at craft theory texts and the idea of 'aura'.
Digital technologies no not replace print, but work alongside and extend choice in art and design. Discuss what print is now used for with examples and why it isn't just used in galleries. It is appreciated by those who are cultured and enjoy artwork which isn't designed for function over form. Research into the different printing methods for the practical element of the brief.
I received positive feedback and that instead of concentrating on the practical element I should begin to write my essay and research into the area of print. The practical part of the brief should then in turn follow on naturally. It was agreed that print is quite artistic and creative which is quite different to most functional designs therefore suits my design style on the whole and outlook on graphic design.
