Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

This really is my favorite piece of material to have on hand. You must be proud seeing it used so much all over the world.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Looks schmick.

One of the better fliers out there. One thing I hate seeing in flyers is $cilon jargon. All this OT and OSA shit. If you're going to write that, please put a little bit in brackets, eg OSA (Cult Secret Service/SS) etc.

Your flyer is very good though..

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Hey dude,

just one small thing, on the second page - final column:

there's an accidental space in the word 'begun'.. Apart from that it's brilliant, I saw alot being handed out today they seemed to be a big success! (london, uk)

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

How did you make the circle / grey background btw? Cuz I badly replicated it for my Disconnection leaflets.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Yeah, that's one of the things I tried to avoid. People are far more receptive to plain, simple, straightforward language.

I know - it's driving me nuts! There's something wacky going on with the alignment. Changing the font and the layout should fix it.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Wonderfull flyer, cant wait for the v 2.0
To bad i see it just now, otherwise i woud have made this my main one. I especially like how it gets you interested with one big question, and then with each unfold you get more and more presice and wide info. And that you cite your sourses on hubbard? Priceless.

Im not really shure if it woud be benefital, but if you find a place, you can add something i saw on some other flyer- ''if you wont read this, pass it to someone else or throw it in a proper dustbin. Please dont litter''. Its a wonderfull sentiment, but im affraid its going to become a little bit too crouded on the flier...

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Man, this flyer rules. Hundreds of copies handed out in my home city...thanks for making it.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

anondescript, could you please upload the source?

Would be nice to translate this one.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Oooooh, I must've missed this thread and the previous one. A few of the anons around here were passing it out at Reconnect and I pretty much fell in love with it once I popped it open; minimal wordiness while still retaining impact. Thanks very much for your time and effort. :mrgreen:

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

That's a cool flyer, thanks for making and uploading it.

Just one tiny point for correction: I found a typo in the last paragraph on page 2, it says "begu n".

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Psssst... supafreak...

:examine:

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

This thing is AWESOME. I've got a few of these in my bag now at all times to give to people who ask about the CoS. It's simple, easy to read, and there's no crazy jargon in it that would confuse people and/or hurt the cause.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

I handed one of these to the local pastor today, to try to recruit some pissed-off crusading Christians. This is probably the best information packet intended for Joe Public I've seen from Anonymous yet. Kudos.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Love this flyer. I printed off 500 of them for my local raid, and we pretty much handed them all out. Could you add exscientologykids.com with the other urls? I always seem to bring that one up with people, but it's not on the flyer.

Translation! Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Just what I searched for (except the english

Or can we send you the translated text, if you can't put the .psd/.ai online?


And please more parentheses: "Church" of Scientology or at least "Church of Scientology"?

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

You win hardcore. In fact, I wouldn't mind if you made a series of these targeting different angles and facts. My only critique (aside from the now near infamous "begu n") Is i feel that though it does mention Fair Game briefly, it doesn't seem to mention it in contect of answering the cover's question. Because, that policy IS the main reason we *have* to wear masks.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

True, but the ''why we wear masks'' question is just to get the person's attention. It briefly answers is, and then moves on, recaping Wonderfully (fairly short, understandable and belieavable) what Scientology is. Id vote for leaving it as-is. However, diversity IS important, so, anondescript if you can make a couple other 3folds, that center more in-depth on Co$'s many many transgressions, it woud pretty much rock my world ^______^ IMO, this flier is as close to perfection as it can be. Wich is pretty damn near, lemme tell you.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Ba-bump - check the first post.

And if you still would like to see anything beyond the scope of a personal edit, please let me know!

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Awesome! Thanks heaps! :flowers:

I've downloaded the latest version and will use it on 10 May.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Anything double sided for the office copiers that do et?

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Really appreciate your efforts by offering the source now hyeah:

I'll put up the german version to Projekt Chanology as soon as the translation is done.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

There is two typos on the same word. It says "Infltration" twice, and it should be changed to "Infiltration".

Too bad I found out after getting 200 of them printed for me.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Oh shit. Fixed and re-uploaded.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

note : This is based on the previous version of the file - I will try and update the files to the new version when I have a bit of time - if someone is feeling courageous, the translated text is available on this page.

French version & Dutch (with Belgian colloquialisms) versions, courtesy of the Belgian Anons.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Actually, that's a fantastic idea - if people wouldn't mind sharing a link to the translated version of the flyer once it's completed, I'll update the OP so we have one centralized place for everything.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

This is certainly the best "why masks" thing I've seen so far, and I don't mean to step on any toes, but this is just something I threw together a couple of weeks ago after fielding too many "why are you wearing masks?" Q's from passers-by. Also, if you're trying to conserve $/paper/ink, these are pretty simple too. Simply print (the b&w turns out nice too), cut in half, and pass out at the next protest.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Error on the third panel of the second page: "indtimidation" should be "intimidation".

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Mi gusto mucho, yo tengo mucho hepes...para ti.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Bumping topic due to desperate need for someone to fix the aforementioned typo on page 2 panel 3. I'm looking at getting a bunch of these make up, but I don't want to do it while the typo is in still there.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Updated French version:

PDFs only
PDFs + indd

Dutch should be done soonish.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Super Niiiiiiiiiice!!!!

If possible, each local Anongroup should put their decentralized webcontact on the flyer (and on any other handout info).

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Okay, OP edited with a link to the new version. It should be all set now (I hope!).

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

On the first page (what would work out to be folded into the middle), the pamphlet says: "It’s official dogma is to..."

Call me a grammar-Nazi, but since some people look for any excuse not to read fliers I think I should point out that it should be "its" for possessive and not "it's," which is for the contraction "it is."

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

This trifold is the king of flyers, but

THIS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD THIS.

xenu.net is an undigestible overwhelming nutty MESS to the average webgoer, and 1997 wants its web design back.

exscnkids is neat, tidy, earnest, well-organized and to the point, a great introduction for joe shmoe to explore, second only to whyweprotest.net in simplicity, yet NONE of the flyers seem to feature it!! I just wish the domain wasn't so finking LONG, are there any helpfully short, to-the-point easy-to-spell redirecting urls?

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

can someone attach just the straight pdf of this for me? work sucks socks and blocks rapidshare

thx

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Almost. You updated the InDesign file for "Why am I wearing this mask", but forgot to update the corresponding PDF file. An associate of mine with InDesign noticed this.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Got it.

Uh, it's already in the brochure? Under the list of links at the end of the inner portion.

Good idea. Here you go (also added to the OP)!

Got it, thanks for the catch. OP edited with the new changes.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

Very nice.
Finally got it downloaded, been trying for 2 days (anyone else having problems with rapidshare btw?)
Going to get some copies of this printed off for the 10th.

Re: Why Am I Wearing This Mask?, Ver. 2.0

If anyone is interested in the german version ...
