Tutorial with Simon

When discussing the overarching theme of my critical report it was discussed that there should be more of a focus upon what women bring to visual culture. This being further embedded with a discussion upon who makes design aimed at females, and whether the user is being represented well enough. This applying to popular culture.


When discussing the outcome, it became evident that for myself to develop an editorial, it is essential that the report has some form of underlying mention of this topic. When discussing this further with Simon it became apparent that feminism within editorials may be a strong focus of the essay. Embedding elements of representation, identity loss and patriarchal preferences. This may also allow myself to reference key characteristics previously mentioned.
