Study Task1: Library Research

Pop Sixties (Magnum Photos)

In response to receiving the module themes for COP Studio Brief 1, I took a book out of the library to start me thinking about one of these themes and how it effected or was affected by illustration. I chose to take out 'Pop Sixties' (Magnum Photos) as I was thinking about the cultural changes during the last century. I particularly love the illustrations from the 50's onwards in regards to how they changed alongside the culture of the time. And while I understand both history and culture go together in this change in development I thought it would be something interesting to investigate. Therefore I chose a book that documented a recent decade through photographs and a small proportion of text, as I felt photographs would be the most accurate and honest depiction of the cultural signifiers of the time.
