COP: TUTORIAL

During my tutorial, I finalised some ideas for my practical and also managed to figure out a way to rearrange my essay and incorporate some more theories to back my points up. I was told to include some points in the essay regarding user experience and interaction with digital and print publishing. Why do they like to have physical things? Study some psychology into that area. Ownership behind books and magazines and why people are proud to own these documents. Talk to Steve Watson, the owner of a magazine membership site that sends its members random magazines each month. I should begin to include these theories in my essay, sustainability, user experience and benefits/success that magazines gain from publishing.

To conclude my practical idea, we discussed several routes I could go down in reflection to these theories previously mentioned. After some discussion I think I'd like to create something in print obviously, but to take ideas from reading digital publishing and apply them to print. I would also incorporate a sustainable aspect to the design given the fact that this topic should be heavily influenced by sustainability. One reason people may not invest in print is because its a waste and its bad for the environment so this print publication should serve its purpose then be easily disposable. It should be something that links the digital publishing site with the print platform.
