Cheating Good Manners
I have been thinking a lot about teaching people manner and how they should act whist dinning with others.
I have been trying to think of way to put across the message in a fun way. Today I thought about being a school and writing the answers to a test on my arm... cheating. This has given me an idea of cheating good manners. I need to come up with ideas of where to hide information on a dining table that will give instructions on which utensil to use and reminders about manners and how to act.
I'll have to think back to when i was at school as i know writing on my arm wasn't the only way that i would cheat. simple things such as putting the answers in a folder...which was see threw, i dont know how i got away with that only but sometime the most obvious things aren't noticeable.
Wrap it up! display publicly
Here are some ideas for my 3rd design which will be displayed publicly. Im not sure about the font as it is not very "good manners" like but it goes with the rest of the drawings.
However it can always be changed after i have scanned the images in to illustrator.
i will also be adding other information about good and bad manners
