44096	United States Honolulu	The domain for this photo is education and school. The Pidgin in this case is saying that we need to put an end to violence. A direct translation of it would be “finish violence”. This relates to program at UH Manoa. The intended audience is UH Manoa students and faculty. The sign is at QLC. I believe it is printed on poster paper. The implied message as mentioned before is to put an end to violence. PAU to the program means “Prevention, Awareness, Understanding”. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
44097	United States Honolulu	The domain is school or education. The Hawaiian in this case is I believe to tell people to wear their mask properly and if not they cannot enter QLC. The intended audience is towards people who can understand Hawaiian or Hawaiian people. I believe this also attracts students into wondering what is meant by this image. I also believe that it is placed to provide a more linguistic landscape for Hawaiian. It is printed on a poster. The direct translation of this accord to google is “enter it, the nose protection, you cannot come in”. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

The implied message is shown by establishing a connection between the Hawaiian word and and the Hawaiian-style clothing. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

In particular of this area it was booming with a lot of tourists so in a way to the tourists it gives off a Hawaii vibe. The intended audience is the public. It is printed on a sheet of metal. The implied message is to not do the following actions. Kokua meaning help so the phrases mean “please help” and for Mahalo “goodbye”. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
44100	United States Kailua	The domain is towards the consumers of Jamba Juice and the general public. The Hawaiian in this case is all names of places on the island of Oahu. The intended audience I feel is more towards tourists because all these places are places tourists were usually go or its a hotspot for tourists. It could be printed on wallpaper. The implied message is to advise tourists and maybe locals to go there for their next trip because of the nice scenery. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
44102	United States Honolulu	The domain is more personal and relates to people who are craving a Hawaii snack. The Pidgin in this case is the small yet visible “Da” before “Mini Pounder”.
