Welcome to our blog. We are a team of Advertisers and Graphic designers from the University of Huddersfield. Our blog is for research and to propose design ideas and events for the current brief "Friends of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park"

We have chose a specific target market which is Singles aged 30-50 years, and we are proposing the idea of a 21st Century Dating Experience at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Friendship Definition

A friendship is a bond between two people who trust, guide, and enjoy each others company. A friend is one who supports and sympathises with a person who they know. With the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a friendship is more a contractual bind from which the target market and the park will both benefit from.
