Monday Monday...Dissertation Talk

Actually feel like I know were I'm going with my dissertation now! I have collected alot of books on print and the industry of printing but I wasn't specific enough on particular areas of it. I've decided that I wanty to look into the development and technology of print briefly, Screen printing, Digital printing, print and branding. With examples of branding and recognition I would like to include research on the following designers; Paul Smith, Celia Birtwell, Ossie Clark and Mary Quant and explore there work. I will go on to question...how can print create something innovative within clothing?...Digital printing Vs Traditional Methods and lastly does the print fit the garment? I have so many questions and topics I want to throw at my dissertation but I dont want it to become to generalised. By exploring all of this within my dissertation at the start of the year I can overcome some obstacles for my collection. I really want to learn different printing techniques and have a full understanding of what my collection will portray as print will be a great focus.
