This is a light green-coloured ribbon. It’s sitting flat on a 30° angle, pointing to the right. The top of the ribbon is shaped like an arrow head. There’s a hole near the top, with a piece of black string looped through it and knotted at the end. This allows the ribbon to be hung. The bottom of the ribbon is jagged, like it was torn from a piece of perforated cloth. The word “participation” is stitched in black in the ribbon’s centre. The word is written in capital letters.

An office desk is in frame. It’s the setup of somebody who works from home. On the right, three drawers are built into the leg of the desk. While a solitary leg holds up the left side. On top, there’s a plant with two long stems and several oval shaped leaves. It sits on the far left of the desk. In the centre is a large computer with a small mouse next to it. Then a mug of coffee, followed by an adjustable tabletop lamp on the far right of the desk.

How you’re commemorated in death depends on your actions in life. Live it accordingly, with inspiration from the Davis Daily.

This is a hand-drawn, colourized illustration of an archery target with an arrow striking the bullseye. The target is depicted as a series of concentric circles, each in a different colour, The bullseye is a small white circle. Circling the bullseye is a bright green ring, slightly larger than the center. Outside the green ring is a red ring, broader than the previous one. The largest and final ring is a vivid blue, taking up the most space on the target. The circles are outlined in bold black, creating clear boundaries between the colors. An arrow is piercing the center of the bullseye. The arrow shaft is black, thin, and perfectly aligned with the target’s center. It is topped with detailed feather fletching. The fletching is shaded in black with fine lines. The drawing conveys precision and achievement, emphasizing the perfect shot.
