THIS MESSAGE
IS FROM THE
WORLD SPACE PROGRAM
This earth may be coming to an end, but the human race must live on.
WSP scientists have tirelessly worked on a salvation from this desolate planet:
UTOPIA
On July 4th, we, the entire human race, will move to a new planet.
Living conditions are identical to that of Earth's prime:
- A sun to orbit
- A stable ozone layer
- Plenty of water
We've learned from our mistakes: the WSP is proud to deliver Utopia with 100% renewable resources! This will keep its surface intact and habitable for thousands of years to come.
POSTER AND INVITATION
To inform all citizens of this new change, the WSP is mailing out posters to each household, announcing a new planet that's ready to be populated!
It tells of the demise of Earth, talks of the new planet, and serve as an invitation to live there.
Attached is an invitation that requires citizens to RSVP for seats on the X-XX spaceships. It provides a meeting time and location for each state.
A stamp is provided for convenience. Citizens can mail back their response using the envelope, or drop it off at the nearest WSP office.
PENPAL LETTERS
A discussion between two of the WSP's best scientists on choosing the ideal planet.
MAILING THE POSTER
WIREFRAMES
Process of designing the informational poster and invitation.
The poster envelope is distributed by mail. Each household receives one poster and must give a response through the RSVP card, and then mail back to the WSP as per instructions on the poster.
