In this era of digital printing and dynamic messaging, the simple picket sign still manages to attract attention and deliver eye-catching content. Made from inexpensive materials, the signs can be produced quickly and scaled to fit any message. The objective is to deliver a message that will not be eclipsed by the heads of surrounding protesters.
In San Francisco, one man has made it his life’s work to walk the streets with his picket sign, protesting the 12 Galaxies population. Frank Chu, according to his business card (Yes, Frank Chu has a business card), has been sharing his unique outlook with the city since 1998. His message may be confusing, but his distinctive picket signs and ubiquitous protest appearances have made Mr. Chu a Bay Area icon.
