With the invention of domestic computers followed arts’ progression into the digital age.

The ability to create digital art with ease has increased art’s accessibility and flexibility and has revolutionized the graphical design and animation industries.

One way in which digital art is implemented is in the use of creating road signs – by creating them digitally, its easy to make many identical copies of the same design!

Task



The town of ‘JavaVille’ has built some new roads, but, as there are no road signs, people keep crashing!

You have been tasked with designing some street signs to help control the flow of traffic!
