Road signs are an example of an essential design artifact, functioning as communicators of crucial information with the goal of creating obedience and order. The road sign has so much power but lacks the ability of absolute control. This artwork delves into the symbolism of stop signs as a powerful symbol of the state, and how design can function as an instrument of power. I explore the tension between their necessary purpose of ensuring safety and their representation of the law. These iconic red octagon signs are simple embodiments of a complex narrative of control and design's role in that. Instead of saying stop, the sign contains a paragraph of detailed instructions of what to do. Further content and instruction are added, however, without the other conventions alongside, this sign would not be effective. By recontextualizing stop signs, I invite viewers to question the implications of a society where such symbols are omnipresent, removed, or include all the fine print of a law and how design functions as a streamline conveyer of authority and instrument of power.
