I began doing some reading today which was very productive. I almost finished one book off my reading list David Crow's 'Left to Right : The cultural shift from words to pictures'. I am finding it really interesting and comprehensible. However it has made me think more deeply about my initial proposal, and I think that I want to put the emphasis of my topic onto this cultural shift from written word to pictures in 21st century mass media, rather than looking at hand rendered typography. I think that this should be okay as this will in many ways require me to cover more or less the same areas of research and theory. I am going to re-write my proposal and decide on some possible chapters and a more specific direction and then e-mail Richard tomorrow to see if this is okay. In the meantime I can carry on reading as the books I have sourced are equally relevant.
