Unit Question:
Why and how do societies convey persistent and important concepts clearly and quickly to all (or most) of its members? Here at AIS/D, how can we better communicate important big ideas (expectations, opportunities, events etc.) so that we are better able to participate in life in the community?

Unit Question Interpreted:
Why and how do societies show and produce important ideas to the rest of the community quickly and clearly? At AIS/D, how can everyone access these big ideas so that the community can be better and everyone can be involved?

Design brief #2:
We are going to make a sign on a pole so that parents, new students, or anyone who isn't familiar with AIS/D can follow signs that will direct them to where they need to go. There will be a number of signs that will be placed on secure poles, which will either have quite a few signs placed on one pole, or there will be a number of poles placed around the school with not as many signs on each pole.On some of the signs will be an image of a paw print with AIS/D or American International School Dhaka written on the side. Another design that will be put on the sign will be a phrase such as '**Go Tigers!**' also with the text on the side. This will be done to show the spirit of the school and the use of the tiger as it is the school animal.

Design specifications:

 * The signs will be a suitable size that is big enough to put designs on and big enough for everyone to read the sign clearly
 * They will be bright so that you can locate the pole with the signs quickly
 * The colours of the sign will be bright and would probably the school colours
 * All of the signs will be put at a height which is suitable for everyone, so not too tall and not too small

Design Brief:
Im going to design a corkboard or a display / notice board where information can be kept and organised. It will be divided into 4 sections by a strip of some sort of wood or plastic for elementary school, middle school, high school and general notices, teachers notes and information and activities for parents. Each section will be clearly labelled, e.g ' **Middle School** '. It will be there purely for communication through out the community and to keep up with information and upcoming events.

Design Specifications:

 * The board will be made from cork or a magnetic material ( magnetic material would be best as using pins for a corkboard wouldn't be great for safety reasons).
 * Each strip will be brightly coloured ( colours could be red, blue, yellow and green) and the edge will be orange to represent the colour of a tiger.
 * There will be a sign at the top of the notice board saying ' **AIS/D Community Board** ' in the centre
 * It will be located in a place where everyone can access it easily, preferably by the entrance
 * The height of the notice board will be 20" and the width will be 36"
