A selection of first warning signs. Most of them were photographed at different locations across Edinburgh. One of them is also this web-site's banner (in case you didn't notice). More warnings to come soon!

First conceptual drawings...
The doodles below are my very first ideas for the warning-posters. Scroll down to see what they turned into when I printed and placed them across the city (first post). While the locations and messages have changed, the main concept remained the same.
About a chair which didn't wear protective clothing...
Office workers are reminded that not wearing high-visibility clothing while performingt desk-job tasks can cause death and serious injuries. Post inspired by a chair which broke into pieces days after I stuck a warning on it. It should have worn a fluorescent vest...
The series of warning-posters placed around Edinburgh is an art project by Piotr Klarowski, a Graphic Design student at Edinburgh College of Art. In attempt to deconstruct health & safety'. I am trying to get people to reconsider the 'nanny state' attitude within the 'health & safety culture'. It's a humorous take on 'serious' regulations which tend to go too far and become absurd.
