Door Signs!

On the 2nd day of their orientation program at the National Institute of Design (NID), Bangalore, the 40 foundation students of the 2008 batch were given an impromptu assignment to come up with solutions of a door sign to depict entry side. These glass doors on campus were newly fitted and didn't have handles and one didn't know which side to push to open.
The students were asked to come up with out of the box symbolic solutions without being literal. The following ideas were applied to the doors.

Anshu George depicted through foot prints of a split personality!!


Sohini pasted a signage as if written by the local carpenter in his own pronunciation.


Kartik showed lot of hand prints creating a play.


Ayush played around with the word exit by placing it inside and deliberatly exagerating the x.
