CREATING TOMORROW ... ONE SIGN AT A TIME

Ai New York City part-time faculty member Marcos Chavez worked with his graphic design students at to create a guerrilla wayfinding / information hacking project for his Graphic Symbolism class.

Students worked together to manipulate signage throughout the school creating surprising and inspiring messages. Students used altered symbols, icons and typography to create witty replacements to the common signage within Ai New York City's interior.

A sampling of the signage appears below.  Great job all!
