Look at the "Challenge" on page 341 of Beyond Words. We are going to take images from the Ready.gov Visual Guides and manipulate their text to give the overall work a different meaning. Look at this Google search for "Ready.gov parody" for examples. Also, Packard Jennings's Business Reply pamphlet and Packard Jennings's A Day at the Mall pamphlet might give you some inspiration.
When you are ready, download one or more of the Ready.gov images and open them in image editor like Photoshop or import them into Word. After changing the text and saving your work, upload your file as a comment to this blog post.
