Cornel West is a philosopher and social critic. He was greatly influenced by the philosophical tradition of American Pragmatism, especially the work of John Dewey and William James. West is known for his explorations of race, gender, and class in the United States. This is a clip from the philosophy documentary ‘Examined Life’ (which is very much worth watching in its entirety). Here West is speaking about the intersection of philosophy and music. He calls himself 'A blues man in the life of the mind and a jazz man in the world of ideas.’

Examined Life ♥️✊🌹 Socrates is said to have exclaimed that an unexamined life is not worth living. How many of us really sit back and ponder on life ? On the higher values which give meaning to life ? Some achieve their goals , most do not , leaving behind embittered frustrated individuals. As we move on in life,examination of life invariably means one’s own life and yes,again invariably leads to envy and regrets. Rare is the person who having examined his life is content. Reflecting on life is a worthwhile exercise. It helps you to realise the transient nature of existence When one does ponder , you get a road map.you may perhaps not reach the destination, but it gives meaning to life. #manam #beautifuldivineful #chebbsr #soulful #iarhglobal #drpnagaraj #examinedlife (at Chennai the Best CIty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUuWuXAgwN/?utm_medium=tumblr

A few illustrations / stills from “Mouth & Toes: The World of 19th Century (Performative) Silhouette Artists with Disabilities” which I’m working on currently through a Creative and Performing Artist / Writer Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society and will be presented at the Examined Life conference in October. It tells the stories of the performative world of disabled and atypically figured artists working in the very popular and affordable alternative to portraiture, the silhouette. Artists include Martha Ann Honeywell, Sarah Rogers, and Nellis Saunders. The book will also explore the role of the Peale Museum, the physiognotrace, and the work of Moses Williams, former slave of Charles Peale and master silhouette artist. The final form(s) will include a handmade illuminated “book” in the form of a moving panorama as well as an animated downloadable eBook. #graphicmedicine #narrativemedicine #examinedlife #aas #americanantiquariansociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbZhXJDE3_/?igshid=1kk42gdccdmsb

Loved today’s #dailycalm #meditation on the importance of #silence. 🤫 This is one that I always sort of knew, but never really quantified the importance of. But one of the reasons I get up in the mornings as early as I do-around 5 o’clock, March mornings-is that I like a period of silence to get my mind right before I start the day.And one of my favorite places in Columbus is downtown, a small park near my office that is simply space around a fountain. I like to go out there and just sit, and listen to the water. It’s coming down hard enough that you can’t hear the road noise just a few yards away, and that’s pretty awesome. I think of people who can’t exist without their headphones in, listening to music or whatever, and wonder how unexamined their lives really are. I also wonder if all the thoughts that they are muffling in their heads are going to come pouring back later in life, in a way that they are not prepared for. 👂🏻 As Depeche Mode sang: “Enjoy the Silence.” 🧘🏼‍♂️ #meditatorsofinstagram #meditate #dailypractice #meditatedaily #examinedlife #timetothinkaboutme #ponder #quietthemind #quietthemindandthesoulwillspeak https://www.instagram.com/mudlifecrisis/p/ByhollNgvh-/?igshid=uwibogu81dw5

My Essay
The title will be: Do specialist food magazines have common approaches in their visual communication?: Examine the graphics and layouts of specialist food magazines’ and how they communicate with their audience.
To gather my research I have looked into books, both paper and electronic and also video - from TED. I am going to use all three of those sources as reference.
I have not found any secondary sources. This is because I wan not sure where to find them as I wanted them to be reliable as well as opinionated.
I found it hard to obtain all of the sources necessary for reference. This was because other than semiotics which my tutor suggested that I should look into. I was not sure how to find examinations of page layouts and designs. But once I got my head around looking at ‘Editorial’ design, rather than only magazine design, I did find it much easier.
During the process of completing this essay, I would have researched a lot into semiotics and editorial design. So from linking my research into my chosen magazine pages’, it will help me become more in tune with page layout and the thoughts that viewers/customers can gain from viewing different things.
As I have previously mentioned, my tutor did suggest that I could look into semiotics. I have found several books within this subject which I will hope to use as reference in my bibliography. From my peers giving me suggestions in which theme to look at with would become the theme of my essay, a few of them did suggest to look into magazine layouts and also typography. I have also included books where it does mention about the structure of a magazine and what can be done to make it look impressive.
