http://www.freewayblogger.com/Before the internet, before television and radio, photography or even the invention of the printing press, there was the sign. Five hundred, one thousand, even three thousand years ago, if you wanted to get your message out, you made a sign.

If you were smart, you used durable materials and hung it in such a way that other people couldn't take it down... at least not easily. The advantages of sign-making over competing mass-mediums of the day (repeating yourself to everyone who passed by or yelling at large groups) were obvious: a single sign could be read by many without degrading or diluting its message and it could be posted anonymously.
