Project: 3,000 Report
Dates: Hand in: Friday February 17, 2017
Project title
3,000-word Report (made up of a 2,000-word essay and a 1,000-word annotated bibliography)
The brief in a sentence
The 3,000-word report will analyse a specific aspect of graphic design history in relation to key design issues. (The report will be in two parts: a 2,000-word essay and a 1,000-word annotated bibliography)
Background/context
Your research for your 3,000-word report will give you an opportunity to thoroughly investigate relevant ideas, designers, movements, issues and debates (both historical and contemporary), including those relating to ethical matters, while developing lines of inquiry and critical thought.
The challenge
With the support of your tutors you will independently devise a thesis question that will guide your research. The report should relate to your studio practice. The research should provide a foundation for your studio projects. The report must have a coherent theme and the sections need to relate to each other.
Audience
The report is aimed at a person who has no prior knowledge of your topic, but expects clear and logically structured information that is effectively communicated.
Things to consider
The report should make use of the most recent and most authoritative research on the subject. This research must be evaluated, analysed and communicated in a clear and concise manner. Academic writing skills will be developed and supported through the composition of your 3,000-word written text for which you will independently research, analyse and present your findings.
Assessment requirements
The 3,000-word report must be professionally presented. It must include all the standard requirements of an academic essay, including your name, title, referencing and a bibliography. Images must be numbered, captioned and be discussed in the text. Harvard referencing must be used in the body of the report (e.g. after quotes or other research) and in the bibliography.
