There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane

At this point in my journey of making art based on Zabriskie point i became downtrodden in the vastness of my ideas and directions i could take, not so much a fork in the road but a whole cutlery draw to pick from. With this apparent status of being "stuck", took the oppurtunity to talk to my tutor and going thorugh my thoughts, ideas and options. From this discussion i was able to pin down the idea of a sort of... self help book, Example the "For Dummies" series. Only mine would have a title a bit like, "How To Be A Serial Killer". Which admittley got me a few funny looks of some peers. The style i would do the work would be of like the inflight safety cards where the people in them are very blank faced, basic colours, simple lines. Though instead of showing how to be safe during flight mine would be giving you a step by step on how to kill people in various ways.

Below the airline illustraion is my intrepretation on how i could manipulate and alter the design to my own needs and requirement, the style and look of it is very deadpan black comedy.
Much like a part of the Movie FIGHT CLUB where they subsititute the regular airline safety cards with a more accurate and realistic design, below is the prop used for the scene in the film.
