Vote
This particular image is reminiscent of a “warning sign” and emphasizes the dire need to vote this year. We need a change in government this year more than ever and voting is our pathway to that change. I imagine this sign being posted around designated polling places.
Fight Racism
This sign resembles a construction warning sign, which usually communicates some kind of “Work in Progress” message. I wanted to showcase the fight and hard work involved in achieving diversity, equity, and inclusion. I imagine this sign being posted on residential windows or in public spaces.
Microaggression Management
This sign is reminiscent of green park signs found at entrances to national parks. They usually provide rules for entry. I wanted to create a similar sign that conveyed “rules of engagement” in our social interactions. I imagine this sign being posted on front doors of businesses, gallery spaces, and other.
