I started to look at the forms that street signs a comprised of and wanted to see how they could be manipulated and still be easy recognisable and perform as a sign
the red border that is a feature of a large number of street signs in the UK is a power signal that what is contained within it is very important and must be adhered to. Even altering the thickness of the sign has an effect as this sign shape is still recognisable as a sign but would most likely not be reacted to in the same way as an official street sign.
I made a series of posters experimenting with the shapes that make up street signs. I think a red circular border is not enough to make use believe we are looking at a sign, It is a certain thickness of line and size of the sign that effect our judgement.
This poster shows the differences in association with colour in street signs. I would say the bright red and the black sign are the most authoritative.
