Would you give more to a homeless person if their sign was more vibrant or conveyed its message better? A pair of Massachusetts-based artists have been exchanging the signs of homeless people with colorful replacements. Kenji Nakayama and Christopher Hope began their Signs for the Homeless project in February 2012; for each exchange, the pair explored the homeless person's backstory, before giving them a colorful alternative to their hand-written sign. The intricate designs are layered with hand-crafted multicolor lettering, which the artists hope will help their owners increase their daily take.
