It’s around 6 weeks until the launch of of FYI — Huddersfield; a pocket guide to independent places to eat, drink, shop and do stuff. Designed as a lovely printed guidebook and location aware mobile site, this blog is a document of the process of how the project came about and the people who have helped make it happen.
Here’s the story of how it all came together… Last summer Aidan Nolan of A.N.D Studio and Warren Slingsby of MAKE Online were chatting about starting a personal project that would allow them to help a wider community but also have creative freedom. This lead to the idea of creating a guide to the town they both live, work and socialise in — Huddersfield. The purpose of the guide would have clear objectives:
1 — Support local independent outlets.
2 — Encourage people to shop locally, rather than in national chains.
3 — Be better than what’s currently available.
4 — No adverts. Only reviews.
5 — Produced in print & digital formats.
With objectives in place all that was left to do was decide what to name this new guide to celebrate independent places, who would be featured and how it would be distributed over the town and hopefully, further a field. More on this in the next post.
