Information on the design concept created by Pavone for the Harrisburg Shakespeare Festival (HSF), from "Design for Special Events: 500 of the Best Logos, Invitations, and Graphics," is presented. Promotional materials included posters, T-shirts, buttons and outdoor advertising, which all contained the HSF identity. A one-color set of materials was developed and posters were mounted on every streetlight and tree in the area, which became part of the visual landscape of the city.

Road sign detection is one of the major concerned topics in the field of driving safety and intelligent vehicle. In this paper, a new method using Color Barycenter Hexagon (CBH) model for road sign detection is proposed. In CBH model, full color images are calculated the color barycenter and get the barycenter region, then select the thresholds to separate the region of interest (ROI) aiming to detect the road sign. Because of the practically image have many noise, and at the existing color space can not separate the ROI ideally, the proposed CBH model can thresholding the principal color of ROI and have high robust. With simple thresholding and operations, road sign on various scene images can be detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the linguistic world, where people live completely even though there are only few signs. These signs can work adequately without any explanation in the language of what they mean. According to Ferdinand de Saussure, road signs and the Morse code are very precise and can provide a set of messages that are notably limited. Roland Barthes wrote in a key passage of "Elements of Semiology," that through the typographical sign of italicization which brings out the importance of what is being uttered, usage can be reformed into a sign.
