The second presentation which I created was based solely outside, looking at various locations in the city of Leicester. One believed that this was a more successful presentation, in which fulfilled the elements of psychogeography. For example, different senses and scenery was distinguished throughout various areas, in comparison to our first presentation, which restricted this, as it was based predominantly in the home where these discoveries could not be exposed. The basis of the second presentation was to find a bus route which one was not familiar with and travel around various areas which were randomised. Again, the random aspect of the second presentation was more successful in comparison to the first as it focused on broader areas around Leicester. The prime theme which was to be looked upon was the viewing of graffiti around these different areas and the correlations distinguished between the area and the graffiti. This experience was intriguing due to the alternating amount of graffiti in the different areas, for example, the town of Leicester and the Gilmorton estate appeared to be more deprived areas. These areas also had the majority of graffiti, in comparison to other areas, such as Whetstone, Glen Parva and Blaby which each had very little graffiti.
The psychogeography project was an intriguing one as new areas were encountered and looked upon with a more observant approach in comparison to following ordinary daily routines and visualising perpetual sites and landscapes. The second presentation, which consisted of various images, enabled a greater insight into the surroundings of Leicester.
