My God! It's full of Postscript!

Just a quick question. Can anyone get me a high quality image of the packets for the Humanitarian Daily Rations (any or all packages included) we're dropping in Afghanistan? They were also dropped in Yugoslavia and a few other countries. I doubt I'll be able to get one, but I'd really like to see them, as they're not available inside the US. I know that people immediately on my friends list may not be able to get them, but I'm hoping for a six-degrees of seperation type thing. Maybe you know someone who knows someone (more than likely from former Yugoslavia) who can get a scan, or maybe even the empty packets that I can scan myself if the recipient doesn't have any opnline communications.

It would be most appreciated...thanks.

Why?

I've got a fascination with different types of graphics design. When I worked at Kinko's, I did a lot of graphic design for Penn State, including creating graphics that had to cater to multiple languages, or symbolic design (like you see at airports).

I want to see how the design we put on the HDR portrays the food, instructions, and the general idea of "This is food, eat it, it's safe and from your American friends" since we tend to leave it for refugees who may or may not be literate in English, and even in some hostile territories we're trying to win over (Afghanistan).

I've got a few really grainy pictures of what's on the packets from CNN, but I can only make out a few symbols (a man eating from the packet with a grin on his face) and some very large English words but nothing else.

Plus, I'm just really really curious. :)

That's really neat. I'd like to see what they look like myself.
