Information Insertion by Poisøn Lake

April 5th, 2009 5:40 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Insert information in a place that has an absence of information.

Marysville lacked information on its zombie history. I turned March into Zombie History Month in an attempt to end the massive cover up of the 1887-1895 Zombie Plague epidemic.
I started by making zombie history pamphlets filled with handy facts about zombies including how seemingly normal "humans" came to be descended from them & how to celebrate zombie history month. After I had a substantial stack of pamphlets, I set up a few Zombie History Information Centers. After setting up the first information center I was contacted by The Prospector (the paper at my college) and asked to do an interview. I agreed on the condition that I would remain unknown even to the interviewer.
Aside from the pamphlets, I stuck some signs around town & did this task.
Everything Zombie History related was done in the name of one of two organizations; The Society for the Restoration of Zombie History & Descendants of Undead Humans. The SRZH is an elite group of historians, scientists, & interested parties, while DUH is more of a support group for individuals attempting to come to terms with their zombie ancestry.
There's a lot more detail included with the pictures, but I'm sure I've left some things out so I'll probably update this again soon.

Updates

April13th - as requested, I added a scan from the inside of the ZHM pamphlets. For whatever reason, I couldn't upload the word document, but luckily I saved a pamphlet for my portfolio. Which reminds me of an added bonus: this task helped me get into art school.

Oh, wow, this is as multitasking hardcore as it gets. No more points, sorry.

no one's ever called me (or anything I've done) hardcore before. I'd tip my hat or make some other antiquated gesture if I were wearing the appropriate garment.
But I'm not...so here's a bear:

What does the information pamphlet say? Can you upload that? I'd like to get to know more about zombie history!

I can't get the word document to upload, but...

I added a scan from the inside of the pamphlet. It's still a bit hard to read unless you download the file. I'll try to figure out my technical difficulties & get a more readable upload.

My goodness, THIS is marvelous... How on earth could one top this... The answer is one couldn't, but should do the task anyway.

At the time, I didn't have a functional copy of any Word compatible software so it's a weird file type.

What's the file type? I can add it to the "things you can upload" list.

I have something that can edit the files into a readable/downloadable format. I can just make a pdf for it, if you haven't already figured something out.
