Research Background
My research is concerned with the potential of animated typography to capture the human condition, whether as film titles, or animated monologues, or as political commentaries on urban decay and social injustice. As a graphic designer, my research is located in the areas of narrative inquiry and social commentary with specific focus on the concept of palimpsest as a way of reading eroded signage and metaphorical relationships it might have to remembered places and experience. In generating creative and social discourse it investigates relationships between typography and narrative with particular focus on spatiotemporal modalities. In addition my research equally has a multimodal structure enabling it to be presented at a variety of platforms i.e. design practices, teaching and learning, social/political, new and emerging technologies, design thinking as seen in the research.
