TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

To shift this a bit differently:

I'm putting together a hard copy of the CTC.  I'm using some Lulu templates, with pre-fab backgrounds. 

Question: Does this look too fucking pretentious, or is it cool?

Be very honest, because I didn't design the damn thing, so I don't care if it sucks.  The alternative is plain white paper in standard book format, like the Party at Limbo Peak book.

I like it! Pretentious, maybe, but it makes it funny because of the content, so I say go for it! I'm excited that you're doing this because I want a hardcopy. I was thinking about printing it out but that's not as satisfying as a bound copy.

The halftone dots and the vague bits of floral pattern here and there are style elements coming from very recent (0-5 years) trends in mainstream graphics design.

IMO, that kinda clashes with the purpose of the template, which is to look old and ancient :)

But then, I can be a nitpick like that.

Also, if the other option is plain white paper, then you should probably go for this funky template.

Upon reflection, the end product looked repetitive and sloppy, and turned out to be prohibitively expensive.


I may eventually spend the time to something like this completely handmade and from scratch, but until then, I'll probably be going with standard book format.
