    This project is directed toward the local community of Ivanhoe in Kansas City. Ivanhoe has been struggling with social issues such as crime, lack of educational facilities, and the lack of involvement of a strong and healthy community. This project is intended to retrieve meaningful and powerful messages from individuals of the community through a series of interactive posters. residents are invited to contribute message on the poster by filling in the box. These messages are then shared with the people of Ivanhoe through a special design artifact that uses both typography, and an audio-recorded voice that literally speaks to the community

    The challenge is to send inspiring messages to the residents of the the Ivanhoe community. These messages are from the people of Ivanhoe, to the people of Ivanhoe. The idea is to ignite and inspire a reaction from community members. Through persistent and meaningful messages, a positive outlook may be provoked.

     
    Sidebars_solution

    Messages are contributed down by any person in the community who is inspired to SPEAK OUT. A good message inspires insight—the more the better. Messages are then implemented onto the signage and posted throughout the area of Ivanhoe for all to see and hear. Each sign has a recorded voice that literally SPEAKS OUT.
