By Simon Robinson Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of the Arts London London College of Communication September 2017 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to Tilly, my daughter. Without you I would have never managed to complete this. Whenever the research process was getting me down, you reminded me ‘mistakes help you learn’. And to Rebecca, for all the help, support and advice you have given. At times you believed in me, even when I had lost faith.
