What attracted me to this piece was the universal understanding of it. We have to idea what that symbols means but stick some poo on it and your definitely getting the hint or at least get you looking to try to figure it out. It was a Japaneses sign for parks to remind people to pick up after there pets. I thought it was funny how we have not idea what they symbols mean but the message is loud and clear.

What attracted me to this design was the color. Its very plain in simple but getting a very serious message across. Its a pastel blue and white so it seems as if it is trying to be sensitive about a sensitive subject. I think overall it works really well

What attracted me to this piece was the creativeness of it.
This designer was stuck, unable to get an idea, questioning everything. So, I thought it was great that something as a simple having his 4 year old child write this was so creative, and it solved his problem. It also turned out to be one of his favorite pieces, and she does not even remember helping him.
