Welcome
Welcome to Landscape / Portrait
On this site, you can record a self-portrait telling us what you think about where and how you live.
You can also look at the portraits that other people have created from across the North East.
This site allows you to compare these self-portraits with the stereotypes that already exist for each UK post-code area.
