A couple of paragraphs that had been written for inclusion in chapter 2 was shared with Dominique. The deadlines for each chapter were reviewed and a new timescale was devised. Ideally a first draft would have been completed by the christmas break, but due to personal circumstances this was not possible. However it was agreed that much of the writing could be done over the christmas break and that by the start of the new term a first draft could be completed and ready for review.
The practical element of the extended was also reviewed. It was agreed that as a main theme of the essay would be evaluating the success of queer publications, a body of work that reflected the ideas of success within graphic design would be the most relevant. It was discussed that undertaking a rebrand of a publication that had been found to be unsuccessful within the research of the essay could be an appropriate project to undertake. The concept of archives could also be discussed within the essay and this could be extended into the physical work also - perhaps the creation and branding of a new archive or a new publishing house that would represent the publications examined in the essay.
For the next tutorial in the new term a first draft of the essay will be complete and a more solid idea of the practical work along with research for this will be presented.
