Linguistic Landscape

For my linguistic Landscape project I want to focus on the death penalty. It's been a controversial topic from the beginning of time. I did a little research on Troy Davis, who was just recently executed by lethal injection in Georgia. Before he was killed he still announced that he was an innocent man and I realized that some people who are getting killed could actually be innocent. I don't think its right to kill someone for a punishment but would rather be better to just have them rot away in a prison cell for the rest of their lives. For my genre I want to do a graffiti in the quad where everyone can see it, I'm not the best artist but I think its the most efficient to get your message to the public. Ive always found street art to be interesting because they're all different and have different messages. Most people use spray paint or paint but for my project I would use brightly colored chalk to grab the attention of the people passing by. My graffiti will have minimal writing because most people walking by wont have a chance to stop and read it. Along with some writing will be a large picture to drive the point across that the death penalty should be abolished.
