 I found this article very helpful and interesting in relation to this assignment.

I have read a few articles by Jonathan Jones and have always found his opinions and approach to art and design very illuminating. Although this article looks mostly at how art has changed due to economic changes, I found that a lot of his main points could easily relate to the design side of art as well.

This is another article I came across.

Although I don't really have any idea who wrote this I found their opinions and outlook on the economic depression extremely thought provoking.
