Task 4a: Questions

After I have looked back at task 2d of the first module I realized that I can not use the question I mentioned there for the inquiry, because it doesn't fit to my work as an graphic designer and would not be useful for my further career. So, I realized that I have to come up with another question/idea and thought about something that I am really interested in. 

Yesterday. I wrote that usually the best ideas are very close to us. So I tried to think about myself and me in my job. And suddenly I had an idea about a topic which I really wanted to know more about and which would be also useful for my work and the work of others. But after reading about this task on several Blogs of Module 2/Module 3 and our Module, I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to come up with a concrete question in the initial period. Many students started with a lot of questions and have had left the opportunity to get comments and hints by fellow students or the advisors.

I have also written down a few other questions, but these seemed to me too general and I was the whole time too concentrated on the other topic which I have in my mind. I tried to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this topic for my present and my future career: 

So, I decided to introduce my question/s to you now and would be glad if you would left a comment about it (this is independent of your own profession):

Main question:

'Which consequences do the application of advertising psychology criteria to graphic design have?'

Sub-questions:

• Would the application of proven advertising psychology measures initial a more successful graphic design?

• Would graphic design which are build with such a knowledge transport advertising messages in a more appropriate way?

• Would have a graphic designer with such a knowledge better chances on the labour market?

• Would the combination of theoretical knowledge about advertising measures and the ability for graphic design be attractive for employes?

• Would such a graphic designer standing out from the crowd?

• Could these combination be a kind of new profession?

• Do have a graphic designer with this knowledge better arguments toward clients?

• What would be the difference related to his work results?

That are the first sub-sentences which came to my mind. If you have any other ideas or additions feel free to comment!

Thanks!

New Module

Hello everybody!
I hope that everybody has had a good start with the new module! Actually, after reading Reader 4 twice, I'm not sure how I do find my topic/issue for my inquiry. Many things which I want to know more about are coming to my mind, but non of these benefits my work or the work of my colleagues and fellow professionals. Some are not concrete enough and do only fly around in my head. Sometimes the solution are so close that we don't see them. Maybe my issue are right in front of me.... Now I will answer the questions which are posted on Paula's Blog two years ago and hopefully get a idea afterwards.


See you!
