Peer Review

I went into this peer review with not much of an idea on how to create this publication, the only idea i had got was to make a publication which was almost like 'Where's Wally?' but more like 'Spot the Subculture" and all the characters being a modern subculture as it is the norm to see them now. But my group, although liked my idea, stated that it is more of a dissertation piece as it sounds quite time consuming. After that, i was pretty stumped for ideas, although through conversation, more ideas came to mind, I thought about the subculture lecture we had before and remembered it saying how diagrams of skinheads were printed in the newspaper saying what you need to wear to be one and Skinheads hating it. So with the media being a big part of the demise of most subcultures even though mainstream culture is what they hated, i thought i could make a brochure selling subcultures for £30, i thought if i created it by hand i.e. screen print or painted then it would be like how most subcultures started, but with it being a cheap brochure (almost like a corner shop bargain brochure), then it would be mass-produced and commercialised, like the subcultures.

I came away from this session feeling like it really helped me in this module, i think just getting feedback from people who weren't too close to it really helped.
