Sense of Place - Fringes/Edges & Convergence/Opposition

This week was very different compared to previous weeks, as we went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park to become inspired for this weeks focus, which is Fringes/Edges & Convergence/Opposition.

Whilst taking photographs of the  sculptures and landscape, I was thinking what lay beyond the hills and the outskirts of the unseen. When I got home, I brainstormed from this point, and ended up with subcultures in Bradford and Huddersfield, like ethnic groups. Despite Bradford converging different ethnicities all in one place, it still faces challenges of social unrest; people nowadays don't feel they have a sense of place and identity, due to the influx of immigrants within this country. Therefore they don't know what it is to be British. As a result, I wanted a way of promoting social cohesion through graphic design.

However, I had difficulty finding artists that could be incorporated and expand upon my idea, in particular it was difficult to know where to start with an idea like this. Because of this- at the suggestion of Spencer- I've dropped this as an idea and focused on the other three instead, which was difficult to do; I thought it was a good idea, and had a noble intention. I just did not know how it could come into fruition. Nevertheless I still incorporated this theme in my brainstorm, to show evidence of its existence.
