For this project, my goal was to make a sign like you showed in the examples. I wanted to make it based on potholes because many students who have cars and drive through campus a lot will understand the meaning. The dirt roads are littered with potholes, so I wanted to ass some humor and indicated that they are never fixed.

The Football Gods The story starts with the planet of Football. On Earth, football is played but is has never been at the level that exceeds the expectations of humans. The Gods of planet Football decided it was a time for change, and over time, four Gods were sent to Earth to change how humans perceive football.

I used the Bengal Tiger in the middle to symbolize species going extinct because of deforestation. I chose to do this as my project in memory of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. My Dad was working relatively close to the buildings when they collapsed so it is something I will remember.
