Read the Guidelines. To avoid the differences between editions that make for confusion and missed cues, please use the Folger edition of Coriolanus during the read-through.

Read the following Ideas and come up with  statements of your own which exemplifiy each one of them three situations proposed:

Situation 1:  Talking about Profits, Sales Results, and Work Experience.

We use the present perfect to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and continue to the present.

In this case, you will find yourself using the present perfect when answering “how long” questions, and describing sales/costs/profits/revenues for a particular period until the present moment.

Examples:

I’ve worked here for five years. Profits have increased by 10% since Mark has been the Brand Manager. Sales have bounced back this month. How long have you worked in the banking sector for?

Situation 2: Talking about Durations of Job Positions and Lengths of Time with a Relation to the Present.

We use the present perfect to describe an unfinished action with ‘Since’ and ‘For’.

We use ‘since’ with a fixed time in the past (2015, 5th May, last year), and we use ‘for’ with a period of time (5 hours, six months, ten years,).

Examples:

We’ve been located here since 1990. He’s been the CEO for 6 months.

Situation 3: Talking about Recent News and Business Updates.

We use the present perfect to talk about something that happened recently.

Often used with “just “,”yet”, “already”, “recently.”

Summary

Reading I: Discourse and Authorship in Design Practice

Tintin Rosvik 24.9.2019

In our discussion about the first readings, we tried to figure out what authorship has to do with our practice as graphic designers. Naturally, we all had our own (vague) idea of this, and the discussion jumped between many different interpretations of the term. We talked about the texts and our insights in terms of authority and power, self valuation and positioning as well as how the form of authority in our field has shifted over time (designers, agencies and trends). We also touched the area on a meta-level, questioning the paradoxical phenomena of critique; how you often become an authority yourself when taking down other authorities.
