Study Task 7 - Reading Extended Essays

The extended essay that I read was about how editorial illustration is affected by how people view images, as well as how practitioners constantly have to learn new skills to be able to keep up with the advanced technology to make their work suitable for the modern viewer, such as moving image that can be used on digital articles. The tone of voice is more personal than academic throughout the essay which I think makes it a lot easier to understand. Different practitioners are mentioned throughout the essay with explanations on how their work creates an impact as well as how they keep their work up to date by using more modern methods of work such as Adobe Photoshop brushes, which still keeps aspects of a traditional approach. Multiple texts are mention in the introduction and then later clarified further in the second chapter where the texts are triangulated. There is a section of ‘known knowledge’ which proves that Billie was well aware of the topic before doing further research which has allowed her to use paraphrasing in this section. A number of different texts have been used to produce a strong argument which have all been included in the bibliography. The quality of research is quite high as the sources have come from different places including the internet, articles, books and various other sources. Imagery has been included at the end of the essay including a piece of her own work from her reflective practice which was an editorial based piece created in response to the extended essay.
