Research book- Content/title thoughts and decisions.

I have started to think more about the details and what exactly I can include in terms of content within the research book. Also what would be a suitable title for the publication. 
I want the book to explore the contextual references which I have made throughout the year, references that have become common themes within my work such as type, print and branding. But I also want to include personal areas of reference which I have used throughout the year- such as photos, music, books and quotes. 
Some of these can be created visually with the use of type, so this project will act as an exploration of type and layout within publication which has been a focus in my practice through this year. An opportunity to put principles I have learnt during my time here into practice. I want the publication to act as a snapshot of the year- to display what I have learnt and achieved. This will be useful after I have graduated as it can be used a reference on principles but will also be good to look back at where I have come from. Comes from my original thought of looking at nostalgia from old photos.
As the publication will show the basis of my practice and the back bone of what I have learnt essentially I thought a suitable name would be 'Anatomy of a practice'. This also has a close and direct link to the basic principles of typography which I also have done detailed work on this year in my dissertation and this was the turning point to my practice this year.
