Dramatic Inspiration for my Emergency Leaflet


The ship's self destruct system on the film Alien is a great example of a dramatically scary but highly practical information system. It is designed to be used quickly and seriously. The colours and pictograms highlight the seriousness of the system - it is not something to be used lightly (partly because it's a nuclear self-destruct system). 

I think a similar aesthetic could be used for the variant of my public information leaflet which is designed to scare and force action. It has to be shocking but official and easy and immediate to understand. People have to understand how serious this is.
