Context:
Artfacts, images and textual analysis are important sources of information. The relationship between texts, images and artefacts are complex - and made more complex still by the material and bodily encounters we have with them. Just as visual representation of arguments or ideas are important tools (e.g. spider diagram) so writing evolves from close observation of situated objects and images.
The Archive Research brief allows you to explore how archives can be used to yield material for use in research, through analysis, observation, and a wide variety of recording techniques. This shoulf give you a broader scope of what can be counted as research resources by asking what research methods are techniques are appropriate to the considaration of artefact and the contexts in which they appear.
Requirements:
Investigate the contexts of the archive and select material that may lend itself to useful study. In whatever way you see fit, record your observations and thoughts, with practicular consideration to how the material can be communicated most effectively - perhaps using time as a main thematic element.
* Be mindful that research often begins without a clear sense of what is being sought.
* Your final visual outcome should clearly demonstrate your theme and how you have articulated it in a graphic design form.
