No4 The Death of the Handwritten Script?...

Reflective Journal Entry No4 11/06/11

I want to challenge myself with this chosen subject, but at the same time I'm also conscious of not leaving myself short on time again. There is clearly a lot of ground to cover in this chosen area of research, an area which for a number of years I have thought about, but never really got into in any depth. I have from time to time started to think about the subject and the resulting craft skills, and it was after once again after delivery of a presentation to my HND students on Tony Forster that I now feel that the time is right to explore this area.

Later I will return to this subject...
