Graphic Design at UCK

Michelle had to choose a designer or artist who has been a personal influence for this assignment. She chose to work with Charles Rennie Mackintosh, famous for his architecture and interior design work.

This settled, Michelle had to gather firsthand research on Machintosh and his work and write a 2,000 word illustrated critique. This includes reference to the creative, cultural, social, political and economic context in which he worked.

Below is Michelle’s final submission, designed in the style of a mini-magazine.

Like Rosie, whose assignment for this unit I posted a few days ago, Michelle had a good experience when it came to gathering firsthand research. She was able to score a phone interview with Pamela Robertson from the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. She is a professor of Machintosh Studies. Perfect. (There are other interesting emails as well that Michelle could write a quick entry about if she has the time! )

Here’s Michelle’s interview with Pamela and a bit more research which is just a small part of the massive binder she submitted.
