It is printed on card-stock and paper. The implied message is to show many short stories of the author in Pidgin. - CQ

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.
