Some of the ideas suggested were to make a publication aimed at design students and young creatives to help them find typography and interesting pieces of art and graffiti in a more concentrated area of the city as a short trail of typography.
The images would have to focus on text and imagery solely related to sheffield's independent shops, cafés and bars to make the book unique to Sheffield.
I thought this could be extended by making a type trail that was interactive somehow and could have a voucher at the end to attract people to the more independent shops found in this area of Sheffiled on West street, Calver Street and Division street. The publication would be funded by the establishments featured in the publication and given out for free to people wanting to participate in the trail. Once the trail was completed you would receive a free voucher for one of the featured shops.
OR a slightly alternate difference would be to make it aimed purely at students, focussing on the processes and typography used and having it funded by the university.
The theme of this book could then be continued in other cities following the same idea.
A second book idea was tocexplore the different cultures found in Sheffiled from it's history of the steelworks, to the football grounds, kehlam island, the city centre, the winter gardens and famous Parks in the city. As well as things like the fire stations and other local areas, considering themes like the full monty, however this could run the risk of being quite tour guidey.
To keep it marketable I would use beautiful photography that would interest creatives and other people from all walks of life.
A follow up of this idea would be to create a full monty inspired photography trail, this would attract residents of sheffield as well as fans of the film.
Another idea would be to look at purely the typography found in graffiti and tree carvings and etchings found in sheffield's streets, from actual artists to vandalism.
