Description
The Message journal has been initiated by Message, a communication arts research cluster at Plymouth University and is dedicated to the development and discussion of contemporary visual communication messages through research, particularly, but not exclusively, within graphic design, typography, illustration, fine art and publishing.The intention of the group is to support the development of creative practitioner and theorists' research, enabling the exploration and expansion of critical activities and debates around visual language and the theme of the message. It may be a condition of our academic institutions: faced with the reality of subject specific zones, with subjects guarding their territory, we can get slightly crazed as the academic year concludes. We long to break out and do it a different way next term. What about having a drink and an exchange of ideas about shared modules with our neighbours in fine art? Or in media art, architecture, documentary photography... ? At Plymouth we have the opportunity right now to open these discussions as two schools amalgamate and in a very real way the edges are blurred in our conversations and our intellectual explorations.The readership of this journal may number a few more than can fit around a bar, or a café table, so rather than lose our blue sky moment we can contemplate it through the writings of our colleagues, contributors to this the third Message journal. Daniel Jasper captures the mood perfectly with 'I don't know where you end and I begin.' This is the statement of our journal. Recalling the advertisement for Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume, featuring Kate Moss: 'At the core of art and design practice, their respective products are typically distinguishable from one another. However, around their yielding, penetrable edges, as Ms. Moss describes, it can be difficult to suss out the contours that separate one from the other'.
