Levi Brailsford, killed in Stockwood, May 14th 2012

11 MY QUESTIONS
There’s a blogger called ‘Stockwood Pete’ who rants about the lack of bicycle stands around here. Is that a big issue in this area? Did the death of the little boy, Levi, affect the community living near here? Have you gone to uni then?
So you must know laods of people your age around here then? Have you got a loan out? and have your friends?
So are there loads of different kinds of people here then?
HER ANSWERS
I don’t think Stockwood is really a bicycle based community. Because everyoneknows everyone the news travelled fast round the grapevine. Stockwood was totally silent that afternoon. I’m at Bath university because of my friends and family being close by. Only two people I know have moved away. There’s only one primary school here so I know everyone my age. They just don’t seem to move out of Stockwood. I think people are stressing about the increase of uni fees more than they should be. From my friends in Stockwood I think four people my age went to uni, so for them it’s not really an issue. It’s quite an elderly place because of the four old peoples’ and nursing homes. I went to secondary school in Kingswood and there were so many diverse religions.

Students and young families, I want people to see how fondly this young girl thinks of Stockwood.

designing something more modern to put in the city
centre to try and attract newcomers, young couples and families to live in Stockwood. I used modern design and photography networking sight ‘Pinterest’ as an inspiration.
Some of the design ideas used above I tried to take through to my own work on this project.

I thought it would be a good idea to place my poster in the community centre in Stockwood, but after some searching I could not find it. I asked if I could display it inside the library but they do not allow advertising or poster display of any

The locations where I chose to display my poster proved to be either out of the
public, attracting no attention whatsoever, or getting ripped
by and thrown into near by bins. An interesting reaction from
way of the general down by passers the town that my poster was trying to support and advertise!
