I designed my stop and think sign for people who make bad decisions. If I was to put this sign in bad neighborhoods, at lights, corners, etc, it may change the decisions people make. Maybe before somebody is about to rob someone and they see this sign, they may stop and think about what they’re about to do. It took me nearly a week to complete this project since it was hard to use the Pixlr tools. By the time I got it all figured out it was close to due. Throughout this project I realized I have little patience since I got frustrated every time something didn’t look the way I wanted. I wanted to quit and not do the project but I overcame it and finished. For anyone attempting this project don’t use the Pixlr tool, it’s way too complicated. Try and find a simpler one that offers tutorial.

Although, using Pixlr helped me convey my message. By importing the hand and thinking emoji, I was able to get my point across. I used a yellow and blue background to catch people's attention. Using a color that everyone sees all the time, people won’t pay attention to it. But using a color like yellow that’s not usually used on signs people will stop and read my sign. This project has inspired me to keep graphic designing. If I were older doing this project I would put more time and effort into becuase I would have a longer time period to complete it.
