My idea for
this altered sign was to make a sign that was extremely similar to the
original, but different enough to notice right away. I used the “Do Not Enter” sign
as a base, and altered the message, by making the sign look like a
cheeseburger. The reaction I wanted to get from the viewer was for them to see
it and be somewhat amused and also have a lasting impression of it for the rest
of the day.
While
working on this art piece, I began to develop better techniques for my craft. I
learned how to properly pace myself in completing each important step. As a
class, we worked at a certain pace, and I had to do something different in
order to keep up. I did multiple practice prints to make sure my stencil would
work on the actual thing. It took me about 2 weeks to fully complete the sign,
with all the planning, practicing and creating that took place in between.
Overall, I’m
not as satisfied with the final product as I thought I would be when I first
planned it. I think it has a lot to do with the time factor and the lack of
options after already starting the design. I also didn’t correctly cut out the “A”
in “EAT”. I do like the way I cut out the circle shape, and also the depth of
the 2 colors on it. Next time, I’ll be a little neater, and try to come up with
a clearer image.
