[This project was made for Stefan Sagmeister's "Can Design Touch Someone's Heart" class.]
We decided to disrupt the line at the Statue of Liberty, and give the people something to do while they waited.  We asked the people to form human letters to spell out “Stand Like you are 305 Feet Tall.”  We thought the phrase was empowering, and related to the Statue, and we ended up having day filled with laughter.
Watch the video here.
