Studio Brief 4 - Message & Delivery: Research

Brief

Create a body of visual research in response to a story, issue or theme found in the national press tomorrow, Tuesday 22nd October.

Background / Considerations

The willingness and ability to formulate informed opinions about your subject matter is an essential skill for a graphic designer. In addition to being aware of events, concerns and the (un)popularly held opinions of the world around you, you also need to consider the tone of voice with which they are reported. It is important that you read the stories thoroughly and research issues that are raised fully before committing your self to a visual opinion. You can be serious, humorous, questioning, opinionated, bold, or subtle.

For this brief we were asked to get the newspaper on tuesday the 22nd and select a story to research. From this we are to create a body of research based on this story. 

My story
The story that I chose was based on the great british bake off and how one tweet caused controversy. 'Rolling pins at dawn over blank tweet.'

This article is based on the revelations over twitter, and how they can cause uproar amongst the social networkers. Patrick Kidd writes about how the french chef Raymond Blanc has angered the great british bake off fans by supposedly revealing the winner. This article proves that twitter is a portal for the media, and many tweets go public and cause damage that was not intended.
