We had quite a few ideas as to how we could create letters to implicate the definition of displace, and decided on our final design as the most successful. We essentially created three-dimensional letters, but one of the sides was missing to each letter. This signifies the word displace because like the definition states, parts of the letters were ‘removed’ and ‘taken out of the usual or proper place’. We also painted the letters purple because our main location was going to be somewhere abundant in KU spirit, therefore the letters would look very displaced, or ‘put out of the usual or proper place’. So, we took a few pictures in different places with Jayhawks and KU apparel. We also took a picture o the word going down a busy stairwell in Budig; the word itself in this location was extremely displaced. This was reinforced by all the odd looks we got from everyone passing by! Another location was inside Strong Hall, where the word was sitting on the floor except the ‘P’, and the ‘P’ was up on the balcony above the letter. Therefore, the ‘P’ was displaced. An additional location we did was in the Watson Library. We scattered the letters down an aisle in the stacks because of the displaced and lost feeling most people get when they try to find a book here- I personally have felt very displaced in the stacks! Overall, we worked hard to incorporate the meaning of our word into every location we chose.
