The text says Beware - Children's crossing - school but then in Portuguese. At the time of our visit it was a design which was very common on Sal and Santiago. The drawing is based on the most widespread signs around the Mediterranean Sea. Original features — like the boy's head rolling off his shoul­ders and the super mini skirt of the girl — are kept but other features were added giving a rather pleasant end result.

Colour was introduced; sparingly, for maximum effect. A real professional at work I should say.
