Entry 4














For this entry, I decided to take a walk my dog around my block and see what I could find.  It's amazing how many signs there are around in my neighborhood that I don't notice ever.  The first symbol I came across was my dog's name collar.  One side of it has the symbol of a paw.  Next, I walked out into my garage and came across a restroom sign.  I have no idea why or who put this in the garage but it's regularity bores me.  I see a box of my boyfriend's car parts.  The symbol is words that are almost blended together.  This type was really interesting and I consider it a symbol.  I also see the logo of my truck, Chevrolet.  This symbol is a classic and is just simple/plain.  When I finally begin my walk, I am bombarded with signs.  The no parking during winter sign uses contrasting colors to show the seriousness of it.  A rental sign uses type colors of green and blue to signify the saving of money and happiness of buying a house.  Right next to it stands a Realtor sign that uses intriguing type with the "x" and colors of the flag to show it's all American business.  The infamous no parking sign uses the red cross through the P to show the demand of no parking.    I also come across a Southwest Protective sign that is bright yellow to catch one's attention.  I come across another real estate sign that uses the peaks to ensure it's local stance, not to mention the bright colors to emphasize.  A towing sign chooses to one again use the red and black to signify the demand or serious information labeled.  This also goes along with the stop sign.  The speed limit sign makes sure that the speed "25" is bigger than the speed limit type as to be easier to read for drivers.  The sign under it signifies no parking in the bike lane and the type is bright red to understand where the no parking is referring to.
