ABC easy as 123 or simple as Do Re Mi


So I have to create an ABC list website for my Web 2 class. (Hi Jocelyn since I know you are reading this.) I ran through various ideas back and forth and could not settle on anything I was happy with. Until I had a huge explosion in my brain. I don't know if I finally drank enough coffee and the synapses fired or there was some internal combustion but whatever happened I had a brilliant idea. I always loved the Air Toons website (www.airtoons.com) and I've always enjoyed reading things on the Internet that were people's attempt to say what to do in the case of - oh say a zombie attack - or whatever else was on their minds that day.

And I thought to myself: "Self (cause thats how I refer to me) why don't you create this ridiculous list of things do "In Case of an Emergency:" It could be for any emergency at anytime. And you can illustrate it using the air plane safety instruction manual as your muse. Because you know, the illustrations will be simple and affective and you know you found that tutorial thanks to StumbleUpon this summer, so even if you have some issues with the illustrations you know that you can refer back to that. And you also know you live with two people who are very willing to offer their services and can act as props when you take pictures and they'll just laugh at the stuff you came up with and it will be very self satisfying and oh look there goes a giant playdoh rabbit hopping down the street ... lets go chase after it."

Sorry I go off in tangents, especially in my head. But you know what I mean. You get what I'm saying. So there's my list. Here's my inspiration. Call me childish but I had to post this one cause it had the word penis on it. Or maybe its some kind of Freudian signal.

And for you others out there in the vast, amusing, sometimes terrifying land that is the interwebs: Airplane Safety Instructions Tutorial , the tutorial, brought to you by Blog Spoon Graphics. Its one of my favorite sites. And I discovered it via Twitter. How about that?
