You've got (real) mail - Steve Hocket

You've got (real) mail

I found this task very useful because it really got me thinking about who I wanted to get in contact with and why. This lead to me brainstorming for two people. Templo studios founder pali pavalanah and Steve Hockett as my ideas weren't quite there for pali I stuck with steve. 

My reason for getting in touch with Steve was to create a connection for my dissertation and also to visit The Engine Room in Manchester. Steve runs a low-quality journalism cycling called TCOD. 

From the research, I saw his style was very anti-aesthetic for this reason I put something together to look very DIY. My final outcome played with words and signifiers. By placing his gif into a matchbox I aimed to make a comment on his work through the popular term It's Lit. 

I then presented this to the class which was good for presentation skills. overall a really nice task just because it got me doing stuff. 

I got a response from steve that said to shoot him and email next month to find a date I could go visit as he was super busy at the moment.
