Now that I have clarified and regrouped my thoughts and conceptual ideas around my social space, I have been able to explore possible interventions I can insert into the site. Below is a brainstorm of possible intervention ideas based on my conceptual ideas.
From this brainstorm I decided on 4 intervention ideas: chalk circles at the crossing, sign attached to the traffic light poles, travel companion hand-held sign, and instructional flyer handout on how to cross the crossing.
I decided to break down and be specific about each of these proposal ideas by answering each of the following: Who/What/When/Where/Why/How/Other Notes. Below are each of the ideas explored in this manner.

PROPOSAL 4
From here I started working on some visuals. I liked the concept of doing hand drawings onto a photo because it gives you freedom in the way you explore a design and also allows you to give it positional context through visuals which can help support the written work. Below are some visuals for two of my proposals.
Because I have been working from home and my printer isn’t high quality, I drew my intervention ideas on paper before scanning them and then inserting and editing them in Photoshop.
I have been struggling to come up with one more proposal idea. I have decided to work on these proposals and get feedback and ideas from others next week.
