With keeping in my mind of what we had discuss in our first class - about our first realisation of social awareness. I looked back and started to take bits of pieces of how my emotions were at that time - Restricted. Confined. Suffocating. Enclosed. Limited. compared to how they are now - Free. Liberated. Uncramped. Open. And then I started to think about how we live in Canada and when would we feel the most restriction - there I started to think about laws, rules and regulations which inevitably led to road signs. With doing this I hope to show that we should be glad and happy that we live in a life with little restriction on our life. So with this idea I talked to Kristen and we started to draw ideas up of how we could this... we were planning to create real signage and have it posted around campus and taking note of the responses we get from passerby who aren't used to this restriction - we haven't really thought of what we want to write but for example one sign could say 'no listening to music at this point.'

cool idea! I like where you are going with this. One of the choices will be how official you want these signs to look, and how you will go about doing that. Im always amazed at how anybody can put up signs, but as long as they look 'official' many people will obey. What gives them authority? (other than knowing officer dick is waiting behind the bushes to give you a speeding ticket).
Charise, I like this idea very much because I feel the same type of restriction when trying to do everyday tasks such as commuting or even walking accross campus. I would like to join you in pursuing this idea further. I think that on campus would be a good place to install these 'fake signs' we just need to come up with how we are going to aquire/make the signs. I am willing to help in whatever I can do. Get back to me on your ideas for possible sign creations...
