OUGD504 - Studio Brief 01 - Reconsidered Concept Ideas

"Health of the country, Comforts of the town".

My initial idea was to produce a city guidebook on my hometown, Letchworth Garden City. Taking inspiration from research into existing city guidebooks, this would have originally included topics such as food, shopping, places to stay, place of interest, etc. Although the norm for more practical city guidebooks, I felt that to include all of this information the guidebook would have had to be considered very carefully and may have become too bulky with information that may not necessarily be useful, and which could also be found elsewhere. In response to this, it was decided to condense this city guidebook to focus on the history of Letchworth Garden City and particular places of historical interest, rather than the town as a whole.
