So, now that the concept of my DA is settled, I must now reflect on my layout going forward.

One of my main goals I aimed to achieve going into this revolved around perspective. I wished to place as much focus on the female artists as the male artists of the mid-to-late 60s period. Now looking at my plan, I’m not so sure if I will manage this. Many of the iconic and innovative female rock artists would not reach the zeitgeist until the 1970s, with examples including Patti Smith and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. So while there won’t be many females serving as the topic of discussion, I hope to subvert this by bringing up the artists who emerged after this period as a direct result of the male artists I’ll be discussing (such as the ones listed above). This way, I’ll still be acknowledging artists outside of the white male variety, thus widening the perspective in my research (Moore, C. 2023). 

Due to my slight lack of confidence in the video format, I’ve decided to stick to my original plan – which was to approach my project as a series of informal essays. I believe this format will create a balance between me completing a task within my comfort zone while also generating outside interest.

As I begin work on my first essay, I have to make sure that I’m sticking to my core concept, which is to focus on the influence generated by the artist I’m discussing. By maintaining this focus through each essay, I will be able to tell a cohesive story of the birth of art rock. In other words, this is an attempt to make my project stand out amongst the multiple YouTubers and writers who have preceded me.
