Create your own simple warning or instructions sign.

  • Possible situations, directional instructions on campus,  warning signs in hospital, something to guide for the web etc.
  • Make the concept your referring to simple or specific
  • If the sign is designed for a specific demographic (ie doctors) and they have specific domain knowledge then make sure you understand the implications of this.

Do not tell anyone what the sign is that your making, we will come together at the end of the session and people will have to guess what your signs mean.
