These are some initial and broad ideas I have had that I'm interested in, and would like to research and write about.
Social issues
Gender
-
trans, fluid, non binary
- women held to higher standards
- women misrepresented in the art and design world
- conventional beauty and the media
Gender is something that could be linked to graphic design as there are less female designers, and instances like design that is aimed at a specific gender, or sexist graphic design.
Cultural appropriation
- fancy dress
- fashion statements
- pop culture - Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea
- commodification
- 'what if America loved black people as much as black culture'
How could these ideas be linked to graphic design? It seems more of a difficult one. I could look at how graphic designers tackle activism and use design for good, or how image, identity factors in to both graphic design and culture.
