Final Project: Artist references

In looking for artist references, I’m curious in rituals and performances as it resonates with the notion of gender perfomativity as postulated by Butler. The constant need to adjust one’s ‘queerness’ to fit into certain spaces is a ritual in itself, and a performance as they have to put on a persona.

I also consider other factors such as ads and other monetising initiatives such as… Read more →

Navigating The Dominion Post Site

Navigating through print and web may be different, but the fundamental rules of design still applies to both such as typography, hierarchy, layout, and colour, just to name a few. Started off with an exercise that requires us to look at the print copy of The Dominion Post, a local Wellington newspaper. Then look at how the information is presented,… Read more →
