OUIL501- Change of Direction

After cosidering following a similar path to last years essay, I have now moved onto a totally separate subject. I want to do something different to last year, and want to move away from the retail side of it as much as possible, whilst still in keeping with my interests. I wanted to look at how social media is changing how and why we make work, and how this can influence the context behind our work.

I want to start investigating why, as creatives, we make the work we do and start to find out weather social media and mass media have any significant influence over it. My initial point of research will be looking for different examples of works influenced directly by social or mass media and move from there.
