type and image

For my research project I have decided to look at how type and image is used for different effects. The reason I have chose to look at this subject is because I have always been interseted in photography and image manpulation, how you can twist the meaning of an image by combining it with another image to shock, make you look twice or make you think about a certain subject and I particularly like the work of Paul M Smith and Margot Knight. This affect can also be achieved by placeing images side by side and using appropriate text, the typeface you chose can also change the overall feel of something.
Photography, manipulating images and typography are subjects I would like to learn more about I like the idea of exploring the issues significant in our lives today like the difference between natural and artificial.

I think by researching this further I will have a better understanding of how to use type and image effectively in my own work.
