Leeds


Create a variety of merchandise for graduates and students in Leeds wanting to remember their time as a student.

Consider all the building that student have been to in their time in Leeds, include, campus’s, pubs, bars, cafĂ©’s etc.
Create posters, books, postcard and other merchandise that people can buy as gifts or for themselves that will remind them of Leeds.


To start with I am going to draw all the building I can in Leeds city centre and the student areas around it.
I will begin by drawing all the pubs on the Otley run.

The Otley Run: The Otley Run is a pub crawl in Leeds West Yorkshire. The route follows the A660, also known as Otley Road at the point the pub crawl commonly begins. The Otley Run is a popular social gathering for student clubs and societies from the University of Leeds, Leeds College of Art, Leeds Trinity University College and Leeds Metropolitan University  and is also a common activity for birthdays and other celebrations among graduates and city residents. Participants often wear fancy dress and coordinate their costumes to a particular theme.


Initially, the route covered only Tetley pubs and started in Otley, passing the University's main playing fields at Bodington Hall and Weetwood, and many of the University's student flats. With the closure of Weetwood, Cavendish, and Tetley Hall student residences and the opening of others beyond of city centre, the modern route has moved south of the original, usually starting at Woodies in Far Headingley instead. The chosen route may also extend beyond the University bars to city centre club nights. Inclusion of pubs away from the main road has always been regarded as optional, with followers of the extended list (known alternatively as the Headingly Mile) often starting early to allow time to visit as many venues as possible.

Depending on the route taken, the Otley Run can include over 20 drinking establishments, namely:
  1. Woodies Ale House, Far Headingley
  2. The Three Horseshoes, Far Headingley
  3. The New Inn, Far Headingley
  4. Voodoo Bar & Cocktail Lounge, Headingley
  5. Headingley Taps, Headingley
  6. The Arc, Headingley
  7. trio Bar and Grill, Headingley
  8. The Box, Headingley
  9. The Skyrack, Headingley
  10. The Original Oak, Headingley
  11. The Hyde Park, Hyde Park Corner
  12. The Library, Woodhouse Lane (formerly Feast and Firkin)
  13. The Packhorse, Woodhouse Lane
  14. The Eldon, Woodhouse Lane
  15. The Old Bar Leeds University Union
  16. The Terrace Leeds University Union
  17. The Fenton, Woodhouse Lane
  18. Strawberry Fields,(Strawbs) Woodhouse Lane
  19. The Dry Dock, Woodhouse Lane


First thing I need to do is go an take loads of photos of every place.

Here are the pubs, not my pictures
