Module 2

All good suggestions.

Please modify the module. Make your presentation follow the design of a magazine/newsletter -- WIRED a fine model or a newsletter. If you are familiar with McLuhan, then you might want to take a look at some of his experimental works like The Medium is The Massage that borrows from print advertising to discuss the networked world and how it will change the sensorium as well as rhetoric [the art of effective communication]. I know at least one of you is familiar with McLuhan, but if you are not, then please take a look at his work.

Instead of focusing on one chapter, please focus on one issue that strikes you as significant in the social history of graphic design. It can be something concrete like the use of writing tools or mechanisms or something more abstract like identity or time or space/place.

You might focus more on some chapters than others, but it is the themes and details that run through the entire history that I am interested in examining.

OK?

[btw, I was waiting for everyone to respond with an email to me about module 1 before I started to respond back in a trickle ... but now I think I might have left a few hanging waiting for everyone. So, write me again [if I haven't talked w/ you on email about module 1] or write me for the first time.]
