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.

'Sup.

Just came up with these:


In Event Of Fire.pdf

Stay Smart.pdf

Hope that they're reasonable efforts - I plan to post them around my college next week.
After all, wasn't it Oscar Wilde who was arrested for sodomy? Sorry, I'm not quite sure why I said that...

Nice pdfs! some constructive comments --

The first one needs some typical imagery - a burning building, a fire hazard sign, a caution sign, something to anchor it to the idea of a "fire evacuation plan".

The second one needs some imagery or an action-oriented headline as well. As is, it's an impenetrable wall of text with nothing eye-catching.

Harlequin

Aye - I was thinking of adding imagery but wasn't sure what to put on the second one. As for the first, I wanted the text to be legible at a distance - but you're right, catchy images are needed. *dashes to Photoshop*

These are pretty good. The text is a bit "out there" but still somewhat credible, which is perfect IMO.

The first one works without any imagery, I think.  Unless you got a bunch of those generic stick figure guys you see in safety signs huddling together or something.

The second one... neat idea, to much text.  Try cutting the top half to something more like a headline (leaving a lot of space blank) that makes people want to read the rest of it.  Even then, cut the actual text to something like 1/8 of how much you currently have.

ETA: I don't have any way to edit PDFs.  Wanna make a copy of the first one with www.nih.gov for us ameritards?
Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?
A: We have hired a number of FORMER 8th graders.

Ok, I've created a better version of the 'In Event of Fire' sign - not sure what kind of imagery would work best with the second though. I'll continue work.

As for creating Americanised copies, I'll do that tomorrow. :)

NICE!

Only thing I have to say is that the bottom margin is a lot bigger than the top one - looks kind of off-centered.
