Here we see Pidgin being used on an advertisement inviting people to create music for a future party or event. This sign was located along a busy road and sometimes it’s difficult for drivers to actually read the sign. The Pidgin being used here is in large font so as to attract the locals on their commute. As this is a local community, it seems appropriate to use Pidgin.

The domain in this photo is novelty. This is a get well greeting card. Pidgin is used throughout the phrase like “you no need”, “dis” and “stay from”. A direct translation of this phrase would be “you don’t need to ask who this card is from”. The intended audience in this case is towards the locals of Hawaii. This is printed probably on card stock. The Pidgin in this case is to connect locals to this greeting card to make them want to buy it. - CQ

The domain in this case is branding. The purpose of using Pidgin attract the locals into buying this snack. I believe most locals are familiar with li hing mui and could possibly be a favorite snack of the locals. By using “ono”, it attracts locals because they know that ono means delicious. The intended audience is locals. It is printed on paper. The implied message is to get locals to purchase a very famous snack that most or all locals know of. - CQ
