OUGD602 Wild Wild Country Documentry

Furthering my knowledge

Recently I watched the new Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country which dives into the story of Rajneeshees which I had never heard about before.  As daft as it sounds, this documentary made me realise that there is so much about the world I know nothing about.  Going into the industry as a Graphic Designer, I need to know as much about the current world and its past events to better inform my practice.  It also showcased the power of influence upon large groups of people which again is an aspect that informs Graphic Design.  Since watching the programme, I have already started to read up on past events, especially in the US and got into the habit of watching at least one documentary a week.  

The most recent ones are the Louis Theroux documentaries which cover a wide range of subjects and issues.  I plan to continue this trend as it has giving me a greater understanding of the world I will be working in.
