The Birth of Art Rock: Final Report
For my Digital Artefact, I sought to present a persona who wished to increase their knowledge in the topic of 1960s Rock music. Through this persona, I could convey my interest in this genre by sharing with an audience the ways in which this era of music remains both important and relevant to the eras…

Art Rock: Summing it all up
Link to audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/187jGaibPIvnqeBYkfb_cUoXj1PWu1jSt/view As I reach the end of the process, I now must reflect on the work I did… and the work I aspired to do. To recap, I intended to focus my project on the innovative popular music of the 1960s. With each informal essay, I was hoping to essentially tell the…

Art Rock: The art of falling behind
If there’s one thing I’ve observed about my content generation journey so far, it’s that I don’t believe this process to be for me. Another thing that’s not for me would be scheduling, which is a real shame. By now, I was hoping to have written at least three essays, in addition to establishing a…

Classic Rock: returning to the map
As I sadly fall behind in my content generation, I must now reflect on how my project has changed since creating my map all those weeks ago. Looking back, I’ve only now come to realise just how much my project has narrowed since I started. My initial vision was far too broad and thus would’ve…

Classic Rock: reflection and moving forward
I’ve uploaded my first major piece of content for my project. I’m moderately happy with it, but going forward, I’m hoping to implement some alterations. One aspect of my project that may cause issues for me further down the line would be my lack of consideration in the way in which I’m using my platform.…

Classic Rock: looking for inspiration
As I complete my essay on Bob Dylan, I must now look ahead to what my social media presence should look like. This is something that I’ve admittedly tried to write off as long as I could, for I’m personally not a fan. However, I do of course recognise that I’m unlikely to gain much…

Classic Rock: so it begins
Link to audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pE2T0jWe7VMF4s67BYPeEtqUB1-fDdVd/view 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…

The importance of Classic Rock
As I have previously discussed, the niche I’m focusing on is classic rock, and instead of going on about why I love it, I’ll be using this time as an opportunity for me to learn more about it, while also providing a platform for others to learn about it too. As stated in the pitch,…

Classic Rock: mapping it out
Link to audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NCkN-GUfWG91hywxfwOh0cZL9mbjx1F4/view?usp=share_link The field in which I am researching promises a wide variety of sources. The formative years of rock (1960s-1970s) remain a goldmine for discussion, analysing and debate. Much of the inspiration I’ve received so far stems from YouTube. Within the visual essay space inhabits a wide variety of channels which dedicate…

The timelessness of Classic Rock
Link to audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sNOcE-DdAoRj-nC1S2TBblSlYkWmcQjY/view?usp=share_link Upon being asked what my media niche is, my brain underwent its usual moment of panic. I began to question if I have any interest worth sharing and, more importantly, how exactly would I be able to share it? Unfortunately, I haven’t progressed much further on the latter concern. However, I…
