Day 1: Jade Gelskey
Topic: The topic I am picking for this project is going to deal with all of the fast food restaurants in Cedar City UT. It will be a tour of Cedar City through these places. Coming to Cedar City the amount of fast food places surprised and intrigued me. I would like to look a little more into this phenomenon.

Now I want to take this project a step further in meaning, and the theme is going deal with the nations (including Cedar City) obsession with these same types of fast food. Fast food is often very unhealthy, rarely makes you feel good and all around does not enhance our lives. The signage never reflects this. It does not discuss the results: obesity, unhealthy lifestyles and potential health risks.

With simple, yet strong typography and alluring images you can't help but take notice. The result is that many of us find ourselves in the drive-in. The power this design possesses is often dismissed as insignificant, but I believe it really does help make a difference in encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle.
