Zombies Invade Maine!

Rich Brooks Talks ZombiesZombies are way hotter than vampires, both in Hollywood and the Web.

Last week the good folks over at 207 had me come on to talk about zombies:

  • how to make a zombie costume,
  • how to prepare for the (inevitable) zombie apocalypse, and
  • how to create zombie-themed websites.

I busted out one of my favorite zombie t’s and waxed philosophical on our undead brethren. We took a look at the CDC’s official blog post on preparing for the zombie apocalypse (for real!) and a great how-to video on creating zombie makeup where the major ingredient is toilet paper.

I also got to show a little love for the project I worked on with Josh Fisher, Zombie Ipsum: the lorem ipsum alternative for zombie websites.

You can watch the video on the WCSH website or check it out below:

Frightful Filler for Your Damned Designs: Zombie Ipsum

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Zombie Ipsum Twitter AvatarLorem Ipsum alternatives are all the rage these days, but for your macarbe designs and Halloween websites, there’s nothing like Zombie Ipsum.

If you’re a web designer who needs a Lorem Ipsum alternative for a Halloween or horror-themed website or brochure, you need to give Zombie Ipsum a spin. Unlike Lorem Ipsum and many of it’s popular derivatives, Zombie Ipsum is specifically designed for these undead creatures and the people that hunt them.

If you don’t know what Lorem Ipsum is, it’s that latin-looking text that designers use when showing clients a website or brochure to review. We don’t want you getting hung up on the words, we just want you looking at our amazing designs and layouts, so we use bogus text that’s easy to ignore.

Here’s a sample of Zombie Ipsum, straight from the generator:

Zombie ipsum reversus ab viral inferno, nam rick grimes malum cerebro. De carne lumbering animata corpora quaeritis. Summus brains sit​​, morbo vel maleficia? De apocalypsi gorger omero undead survivor dictum mauris. Hi mindless mortuis soulless creaturas, imo evil stalking monstra adventus resi dentevil vultus comedat cerebella viventium.

I can’t tell you the special sauce we used to create Zipsum, but I can say that no zombies were harmed in the production process.
