Reading and note-taking task 1

(Above are two ways of taking notes from a short chapter. The top one takes longer but is much more helpful when attempting to remember and recall information.)

Objective

To give you an overview of the history of Graphic Design in order to inform your written analysis work.

Task

Read the introduction and chapter one of Richard Hollis' - The History Of Graphic Design.

N.B. Don't be put off, use a dictionary and the web for help. You are entering the world of grown-up reading with big words and concepts — if you don't work at it, you won't get it. 

Take notes in your notebook.

Write down 6 questions about the text.

Answer 3 your self and bring 3 in for me or the group to answer.

Presentation

Notes in sketchbook or better still in your notebook.

Checklist for assessment
