SYMBOLS - TRIANGLES

THE POISONOUS RAT:


ACCOUNT:
when making a symbol about smoking, i already had a strong point of view that this is a terrible habit. the rat is a reference to the phrase "you dirty rat!", which i felt agreed with the nasty smell that comes with smoking. in japanese, above the rat, it says "yellow teeth". while underneath, the hand preparing to shake another is made to reference that main thing smokers seem to like about their habit, it serves as an introduction and way to meet people.

THE BADGE OF LOS ANGELES:


ACCOUNT:
this symbol is about the trouble experienced with the long arm of the law. it features a police badge and a speeding ticket underneath, because this is the main problem people discussed when referencing their problems with the law. in korean, on the badge, it says "run", which is something most people want to do when seeing the law.

THE SMELLY TRASHCAN:


ACCOUNT:
this symbol serves mostly as a warning sign to people. it is intended to denote showering less than one shower every two days. the symbol is placed on the front, left pocket so people can see it from far away and be warned.
