I've been finding it very difficult thinking up different kind acts that would actually make a good sticker idea and aren't naff so I think I'm gonna have to not take the brief too literally.
I've consequently been thinking about it more in relation to that Mahatma Ghandi quote - "be the change you want to see in the world", and not thinking about specific kind acts.
I'm still finding it difficult coming up with ideas but one that I've had that i do quite like is that I'd like jazz music to stop being seen as so exclusive. There was a time when jazz was the music played at clubs and bars etc, and whilst obviously I don't want jazz to be the only music played anywhere I don't like how it's become something which is commonly seen as 'musicians music' or sort of pompous. It's difficult to express that notion with just a picture however, although I found a Frank zappa quote - "Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny" that I think works quite well as a way of expressing that idea.
another idea I've had came from a flyer i must have been handed in town and stuffed in my jacket pocket without thinking. It's not something I would have considered otherwise. It was a flyer from 'Action For Greyhounds' which campaigns for the abolition of greyhound racing due to the mistreatment of greyhounds which is such common practice in that industry. I thought I could make quite a good sticker protesting the same thing.
