Thought on the Essay

It has come to that time of the year when I need to be considering a possible subject to write my essay on. I have a nagging feeling that linking graphic design into it is going to cause some head-aches. However I feel confident that if I choose something I have found interesting it should not be a problem.

Out of all the lectures, the one on panopticism was the most interesting to me. However at this stage I do not see how exactly I could relate it to design. After my CST tutorial in a few days I hope to clarify a possible route for this essay to take.

Perhaps I could read into the idea that advertising and marketing are constantly surrounding us, not physically looking at us, but because we are looking at it we are always in its gaze and under it's influence.
