Brainstorming for the nuclear survival kit

The concept for my nuclear survival kit is for it to be informative.  I want to list the step of the instructions out for kit holders/possible kit holders.  I want the public to fully understand the use of the kit so if they do need to put it to use they know the proper way.  Under stress they will be able to effectively use the kit.

Redo

This is the second version of my freakshow ad.  I broke up the text into sections instead of having a complete paragraph at the bottom of the page.  I added the purple as a complementary color and enlarged the image of the two headed skeleton.

Thinking about the freak


These images contain elements of different roughs combined.




My roughs for the Venice Beach Freakshow.  I wanted to incorporate the eye and question mark images from the exterior of the building.  Also, the image of the eye goes along with my slogan: Eye catching, eye stopping. I can't look away.
