Revisiting my Essay question:

Sheffield city to be studied as part of my essay 

Having already come up with 2 very different essay questions which I felt were much more sociology based rather than design, I have decided to completely revisit my essay ideas and write a brand new essay question.

Knowing that I am going to be spending my Christmas break in Sheffield I am now considering the difference in design for the student culture in both the thriving student cities of Sheffield and Leeds.

I see this as more of a case study than an essay question which I don't think will be detrimental to my essay submission but I feel this topic is something which I can massively engage with and put a lot of time and effort into researching.

Identifying if there is a correlation between the design connected to the student lifestyle in the two student cities, Sheffield and Leeds? 

Identifying if there is a relation in the design and promotional material of the student lifestyle in both Leeds and Sheffield? 

History and development of both Sheffield and Leeds

First hand experience of both cities

Focussing around print design (leaflets, fliers tickets etc)

Interviews with students who know both cities 

Intention is to find and uncover any major differences and analyse why

Culture in both cities and the populous of students 

Photographing opportunities:

Sheffield student union

Clubs - Plug, Corp, West st, Carver street 

Collate any fliers found in Sheffield

FB events advertising Sheffield

Photograph clubs in Leeds, Leeds union etc

Concentrating on printed material and differences (if any) in design style.

Consider finding the design agencies who create most of the printed material for Sheffield and also Leeds.
