2 Grosvenor Road: Victorian Perpetual Rent Trap (booklet)
2 Grosvenor Road is a parody property brochure made in spite of a housing situation while studying at university. The building in its hayday was a guard house for the wealthy land owners of Leeds who made settlement on the original 4 roads that became Leeds (Grosvenor Road, Cumberland Road, North Grange Road and North Hill Road). The building in it’s current state is owned by a lousy, profit driven landlord who botched repairs and would complete maintenance jobs in the cheapest way possible, often cutting corners that led to more maintenance repairs. I made the publication sampling images of grafitti in the house, holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings to create textures, type and contrasting visual imagery. Experimental type placement was the focus of the outcome.
