Design context publication ideas

So far I have a few themes I am interested in learning more about and investigating:

• Originality in graphic design and issues surrounding copy-write and plagiarism

• Vintage use of typography in layout. I'm more interested in the style rather than the process of letterpress

• Hand made lettering and sign-writing

• Graphics applied to transport: sticker wraps on cars and trains, Haulage company graphics, Motor racing graphics.

The design disciplines these relate to are typography, layout, type-design and possibly photography.
