Project #2

For my second project my topic is the social issue of road rage. I have a few different leads and ideas, but would love some feedback! I have done a ton of research on the topic which includes facts, statistics, websites, tips, definitions, etc. I would like to make/do something including tips of things to do so you dont become aggressive because there are a lot or road raggers out there. I feel strongly about this issue and would like to warn people about the dangers of road rage. I had a friend who was killed because he cut someone off by accident. For cutting someone off he lost his life and I feel that people will continue to drive aggressively until something happens to them to make them stop. Often times it is something scary or dangerous that happens to make people change their ways and sometimes it is too late (those are all my thoughts about my topic). My ideas so far are:
1. Making a candy car with facts/tips/info. attatched. You take a fun size candy bar or pack of gum (body of the car) and attatch round peppermints to the sides (tires) and a small/fun sized candy bar (the ones that are like 1''x1/2''-the small ones) to the back (trunk). Here is an example: http://www.amazingmoms.com/images/candy-car-20.jpg
2. Make some kinda of statement or sign with a slogan or saying on it -made by hot gluing small toy cars together to form the words.
3. Make a bumpersticker or window sticker with a saying or facts on it.
4. I was thinking facts or tips could also go on things that are with you in the car that you see when you're driving (such as coffee mugs, air fresheners, CD holders, mirrors that magnify, or rear-view mirror decorators- something that hangs down from your rear-view mirror).
5. Making some kind of video (except I dont have a video camera).
I'm open for suggestions or advice on which one might work better to get my point across! Thanks

I like the window sticker idea b/c it is out there on the road where the rage happens. maybe you can have one graphic and multiple applications.
