Week 12

Hi all, I've just made the final lecture for this course available. Scheduled in the course documents to be a session reveiw I have actually baased the lecture in the theme of New Trends in Publishing. Without doubt we need to contextualise this lecture within all the material covered to date in the course. You need only revisit all the lectures and the blog itself to see how much ground we've covered.

Starting with the hands on techniques of Letterpress, moving through Book Design and now on to the world of Online Publishing you can see how we have pursued an underlying theme of technological development that reflects actual evolution in publishing and graphic design itself. This week's lecture further emphasises change as the only constant in publishing. With the tremendous challenges faced by the industry due to new models of production, content creation and user expectation this will only continue to be the case.

I'd like to emphasise this even further by encouraging you to view the fascinating video above.

Finally I'd like to also encourage you to post to the blog a 300 word (max) reflection on your experience in the course. It's the final Studio Research 8 (SR8):
