COP Presentation, Feedback & Plan of Action
Plan & Proposal - Overall information presented
To what extent has typography been influenced by contemporary technologies?
To what extent has typography been influenced by contemporary technologies?
Or
To what extent has typography been influenced by exposure to the web and advancing technological innovation?
To do
Who to contact and what to ask them:
· Dalton Maag – Modern Font foundry
· Snask – Physical hand on approach but appreciate digital design
· Anthony Burrill – Traditional
· Rob Walker - Illustrative typographer
· John Watters – About interaction with clients, now over Skype instead of face to face meetings.
Consider how investigations within theory can be put into practical responses.
Research Topics
A series of mini investigations that underpin my main question or hypothesis.
· How has typography both design and application developed to meet social needs.
· Trends and there impact on the application and design of typography.
· How has the internet impacted how typography is distributed both commercially and socially, i.e the distribution of typography to graphic designers and the different ways typography is presented depending on target audience (moving image, physical 3D, print)
· How its ready available now to everyone so everyone thinks they can design.
· Compare dafont to a high end fontfoundry with budget TDF Ten Dollar Fonts.
· Futuristic type foundries and more traditional typefaces, Johnathan Barnbrook.
· How typography is devalued through over saturation and application of particular fonts, not considering the use and context of the typeface.
· How typography design has changed since the dawn of mass distributed communication with the introduction of the Gutenberg.
· Critical analyze and comparison of a number of different typefaces of different Eras that reflect tradition, current principles and more future oriented ideas.

Feedback
It was suggested I had some interesting topics I have looked into but a lot of them where different essays in themselves, focusing down on what underpins the whole investigation is one of the most important factors to make sense of all these topics and give them purpose and direction towards an end goal.
Think about how all this can be turned into a practical response.
Consider what im looking at, is it print, is it type design or is it communication. Not all 3 of these as this is far too much too write about and argue in a clear way.
Figure out why im contacting people.

Plan of Action
Focus on what underpins the whole essay and set topics that can fit under this subject.
Focus down my question so it makes clear what underpins the whole investigation.
Figure out some questions and who im contacting and what I want to get from it.
Figure out a focused reading list.
Create a more focused and informed proposal form.
