Miguel Gonzalez - Road Sign - "Your Pants Are Falling!"

I really enjoyed creating this road sign. I have to say that this is the most fun I've had the whole year because I thought it was funny to alter a road sign like this. Creating stencils is always fun for me because I love using the X-acto knife. I also liked using the paint to paste the stencil onto the board. All in all, this was the funest activity I've done the whole year and I like how it resulted. Buckle up!

Leons Road sign

The sign was really fun lots of work went into making it. But carving all the words in a specific way to get the proper shape was hard. Also trying to put the right amount of paint so it wont bleed through. But the overall road sign was a success.

Joanna Lopez- Road Sign- "Never End Roadwork"

I really enjoyed doing this project because it was something that I thought was going to be fun to do. 

My road sign is mocking a construction sign that actually says "End Roadwork"I just added NEVER.

I did this so that when someone reads the sign it will catch their attention right away, someone who is driving to work or somewhere important will definitely pay more attention to the sign and maybe panic.

Francisca Gutierrez - Road Sign - "Don't Stop"

I enjoyed working on this artwork. Creating a stencil was fun and a new experience for me. It was hard thinking of how to alter the sign but once I got it, it was a lot of fun.

Francisco Ortega "Speed Limit 180"

A speed Limit sign very simple to do and less time i spend on it.

MOCK ROAD SIGNS

MOCK ROAD SIGNS

GUERRILLA students were inspired by street artists from around the world that alter road signs. Many artists create their own mock signs and install them in the street. Often, these altered signs are meant to be humorous. Although, sometimes a serious message is conveyed on the altered sign.  Of course, actually altering a street sign is illegal. We chose to create mock road signs. Students used the style of a sign (type set, silhouette image, composition, etc) to create a funny version.

Students used stencils to create their text, images, and borders. Stenciling onto illustration boards, they tried to use the spirit of the road sign (to give direction) while expressing a message that is a little more fun.

Here are some examples that we were inspired by:

Leons Nature Sticker

My sticker is perfect for this type of art piece. Soldiers all working together to help produce a flower. The theme word is grow which is the word i chose to sum up the sticker as a whole to inspire others to get involved with going green and help grow plants to give back to nature.
