Throughout my first year I did vast amounts of written research into multiple artists I have found and other related topics. However the problem with this research is that it was conducted with no direction or purpose, it was written just for the sake of writing it down. This was because I had no initial concept to guide the direction of my research, so most of the research I did was just meaningless and irrelevant to my final piece.
This year however my attitude to written research and how I approach it has changed for the better in my opinion. I now conduct research in sections as and when I need them. This way my research follows the direction of my concept and is used to help and inform me as my idea develops into the final product. For example with my recent Conversation project for my Intermediate Studio Practice module I was struggling for ideas of how to illustrate my Typocharacters, so I did some research and found a book which had some simplistic and genius solutions to typeface imagery, this informed my final design and so my research has become more informative and relevant.
