I am beginning to feel the itch of paranoia about all the tech issues I've been having throughout this project, myself being the common denominator I must conclude that my 90s child skills are no longer adequate to understand today's equipment.
Basically couldn't get my prints done onto A2/A1, gave up after the third time wasn't lucky, buried.
Therefore the development of techniques in application I had planed to do, I was unable to carry out.

USB FAIL :(
After gathering secondary research on graffiti sticker artists, I selected a couple of the most visually interesting textures I captured and printed them onto 2' stickers, 48 per A4 sheet.
Living close to Platt Fields park, I thought this a good location to go and leave the stickers and capture the contrast between the textured stickers and the variety of surfaces available in the park. I spent a few hours applying the stickers to both smooth and textured surfaces to observe the best application and photographed the results.
I uploaded my work on my 8GB USB, purchased from the MMU Union last October.
DO NOT PURCHASE USB'S FROM MMU STUDENT UNION
I do admit I hold some responsibility for failing to back up my work and putting my trust in MMU supplies has resulted in me losing nearly all work I have done this academic year.
After a sulk I began re-shooting the lost images, starting with Rogue Studios...

Further Graffiti and Street art Research
After my initial research into sticker street art I felt I needed more reference points and withdrew books from the library on the topic.
The most famous street artist of my generation, the particular works of Bansky where he creates the illusion of an image being exposed, through a two dimensional medium, I wanted to examine and understand his techniques so I could apply the methods to my own work.
My Dad supplied me with this book which, unfortunately, does not state the artist's name but I still found these images useful and relevant to my theme and what I am aiming to achieve.
