Second Group Crit / Ideas

For my thesis I have developed a concept, for now its reserved for "something here", it could be conversation, making new friends, trying to quit smoking, and many more. I want to think strongly about my type decisions for I think the language is very important for the translation of the project ideals to the viewer. I want to place sight specific markings that encourage interaction. These places could be places that are normally not viewed as a place where people congregate. Examples of these could be public ashtrays, water fountains, inside and outside elevators. I recently thought of a saying for the buses, "Reserved for close contact with strangers." My other project is specific to the gallery space, I want to create a variation of the hello my name is sticker, with specific tag lines. The initial tag line will be I love or I heart symbol something. There is going to be something for each artist in the show. The stickers will be used to encourage conversation about the work. The love aspect is relative, because the things people love are the things they care the most about and the things that know and like to talk the most about. I want to encourage conversation between people who like specific peoples work. Below I have included some rough sketches.
