What if....week 2
After more research,
we decided to concentrate on one aspect of homelessness and all agreed that it is impossible to try and solve homelessness eantirely.
We found that we had the most research on health of those who sleep rough.,
We managed to identify a problem and how to solve that.>>> written on the Rationale sheet

What if.....week 1
Brief: Establish a problem that affects some sector of the general public in Leeds. The solution must be resolved,designed and presented in the public domain.
Deliverables: compelling fact based evidence. Photogrpahic record of the solution
This brief is a group project and we were all put into a group of 6 accordingly to our initial themes from the previous brief: photogrpahy 100.
Each team member had similar themse to their photographs and that was our starting point.
Will Duffy, Hazel Gage, Nick Morgan, Maryem, Gemma and me.
Our themes were:
Contrasting colour
Dark, kight and things that shine bright in the night
Might-time, Close ups
Documenting Changes
After we were assigned to our groups, eacg memmer of our group went away and did our own research on what problems there are in Leeds. This was done mostly through, finding NEwspaper articles and the internet
We came up with a few main ideas that seem to be the most interesting and relevant.
Graffiti, Vandalism
Homelessness
Theft
The group decided to go with Homelessness. So, again, we all went and find our own indivual research to back up this problem.
From the group, we collected both primary and secondary research.
A questionaire was created and that can be accessed through

One of our group members also spoke to a volunteer at the Crypt, a homeless centre in Leeds city centre
This is what we decided to do as the result of our research
Who? The general public
What? Informing and educating them about how to help the homeless
Why? Because there is a lack in knowledge of how to help, volunteers
How?? ....A high inpact poster??
We had a presentation on the Friday and pitched in our ideas,
The feedback suggested that there was a sufficient amount of research but a lot of people do already help and know how to ..so, intead of just informing , try to do something else?
We needed to find a niche in the market
The group went home and did more research over the weekend
