Assignment #3: Personal Billboards

     My main reason for using personal billboards was actually not really discussed in our textbook. I have most of these emblems on t-shirts and buttons and wear them pretty regularly, but not as an indication for other people in regards to my values and interests. I wear them to hold myself accountable to my actions and how I impact the world around me. With all of the distractions in day to day life I sometimes need a little reminder as to what is really important to me. I find it frustrating when people have slogans and opinions plastered all over themselves so I try to be fairly subtle with my personal billboards. In the end I feel like a lot more can be said through a person's actions than what they have written on their shirt.

     I tried numerous different ways to add my license plate and was unsuccessful, but it said KICK GAS. My choice in license plate design comes from the fact that I primarily take public transportation and have never owned a car, so it's a little bit irrelevant for me. I think the U.S. is in dire need to kick its fossil fuel habit and I am trying to do my part by keeping my gas-powered transportation to a minimum.

That's all for today,
