critical discourse ba hons graphic design, southampton institute, 1999 introduction

I am a Graphic Design student at Southampton Institute, England, and this site is about my final year Critical Discourse (previously titled Dissertation). I felt that since it is about web design it was only right to document my progression here on the web. Included is the preliminary report that was submitted which explains the subject I have chosen and a plan of how I intended to research and carry out the project.
