Proposal for practical

What is your research question?

To what extent is hand rendered type still relevant in todays design society?


Do you have a hypothesis  - an assured conclusion that you will endeavour to prove?

Hand rendered type is a fantastic art and something to praise. Designers should work by hand before jumping straight onto a Mac. The question is whether or not all digital logos work in a hand rendered style or method.


Sources of primary/secondary research? 

Photos of work - secondary and primary
Practising letterforms


How will your practical work relate to your written work?

The practical work will hopefully be an answer to the question directly. If I created a sign painting, or a hand rendered piece would it work for an ultra digital company? 
Would a piece of design like that suit a company like Apple or something similar. 

What methods will you use to research, develop, create and test your work?

Practise with many tools - calligraphy pens, big markers etc
Crits and talking to people, especially if they are also involved in hand rendered lettering 


Provide a proposed timeline for your work to completion (consider carefully whether you will need to access to college facilities) 

I won't really need many college facilities, I don't think. I will need time for research, deciding an idea and research further, developing the idea and finishing.
