I have been given the task to look at two dissertations on the subject linked to graphic design, to gain some knowledge of how to write when it comes to descriptive explanation and personal response.
The first dissertation I am going to look at is 'A look at the work if Si Scott, by Polly Williams'.
The way the dissertation is written does across very descriptive and very non personal. It is so fact based and research based, everything seems to have reference when I ask myself, if what the student is saint is true, there is more than likely some evidence there to backed up.
The writing comes across very calm and ordered and it just flows nicely. There doesn't seem to be any section where the subject stops and a new subject instantly begins, which makes it better to read.
The second dissertation I am going o look at is 'The role of the graphic designer within the music industry, by Martyn Wooley'.
This dissertation comes across more like a story..in a way,the way the dissertation opens and seems to continue just seems more personal compared to the last.
When glancing through some of the pages, the txt is very separated, there are not a lot of large chunks of text which doesn't really give the idea of a nice flowing piece of writing even if it is.
At the ams tim the contents and the introduction are a lot more structured compared to the last.
For both of these dissertations, they were structured in a way where the research is the dissertation, along with the description, instead of the dissertation just being the description of the written subject with the research somehow piling to the end of the report. It makes for a very nice, flowing and interesting piece of writing.
From looking at both dissertations, there is a lot that i am going to have to amount to personally to be at the same level. These dissertations are quite cold, in the way that there is fact, description and evidence, with little room for personal expression and opinion.
