Today the Daily Create #tdc 2701 challenge was encouraging people to be inspired by Clet Abraham, an artist in Italy.   He transforms ordinary street signs into artistic masterpieces.  This theme coincided perfectly with our Lethem reading, where he writes about artists taking universal signs (or items) from culture and displaying them in a different context, so I knew I had to accept the challenge!  I decided to go with a “Share the Road” sign format and after thinking for a bit what people argue about sharing the most, it came to me…the remote!  I first attempted to create my own sign design, but after a bit searched for a company that actually created custom street signs.  I put my verbiage in their application, took a screenshot, saved the image, and added it into Word.  I then searched for a non-copyrighted image of a remote, colored it in Paint, and merged the two images in Word and voila’!  Actually, this task took me a lot of time and was frustrating, but in the end, I definitely was satisfied with the result.
