discussing my proposal before deadline.

After consulting my tutor about which title she deemed most appropriate for this task was number three. 

Notes for proposal:

The grid is always looked up to by all sorts of designers - why? 
Keep in mind, always, the content, context and your viewers.

are we just convinced and told a grid system works or is it really as important as we make it out to be? 
If we always hear about the proper ways to design a grid, why aren't we shown how to break it? 
technically no structure is still a structure. Is it all in our mind?

books which I found most helpful so far are:

Blackwell, L., 2000. The End of Print: The Grafik Design of David Carson. 2nd ed. London: Laurence King Publishing. Tondreau, B., 2009. Layout Essentials. 100 design principles for using grids. Massachusetts: Quayside Publishing Group. 

Limitations:
None in particular as of yet. Obviously I am still in the very beginning but we'll see as it goes along. I'm sure something will pop up. It always does. 
I need to make sure as not to be too biased towards my argument. Keep an open mind and compare and contrast different peoples opinions.
Lots of people seem to love to give their opinion and write what (they think) is correct on their blogs, websites and tumblr accounts. I therefore need to make sure that the information I get is coming from a reliable source.

my work plan brainstorm:

·      Read both books and blogs and gather useful points to help me carry out my argument.

·      Brainstorm and list important facts from previous research. 

·      Compare and contrast different opinions and validate them.

·      Research both use of the grid and breaking of the grid in both print and web.

·      get outside opinions on my work and progress and see where there is room for improvement and my argument comes along.
