Seminar - Assignment Questions

Today's seminar was about the assignment questions.

Project Brief - the essay questions
  1. Discuss the effect of subcultures on the influential graphic designers and/or animators?
  2. In what ways have the prequel and sequel influenced contemporary graphic design and/or animation practices?
  3. Brand versus Anti-brand. How have graphics designers and/or animators worked with or against brands, and to what effect?
These were all discussed in groups today and explored ideas on how we could answer these questions. I am looking at exploring question one, I find it interesting to explore subcultures the effect they have had on influential graphic designers. 
  1. Subcultures - a cultural group within a culture that differs one or more ways from the culture, the group is against the main flow, they are below the main culture. I could explore music genres, punk era, etsy website, how gaming has changed. I have the most ideas here so will most likely explore this question for my essay.
  2. Explore before and after graphic design
