Private/Public Self

Make a poster in Indesign using text to convey your public and private self.

 privatepublicposter-1

I am roughly the same in private and in public. I look kind of dead. Very tired, zombie-like; I speak the same way too, slow and mumbly. So I took another approach to this prompt.

The big circle is filled with wingdings. It represents my internal screaming and confusion. That is what my brain has been like this entire, miserable semester.

The small circle contains text that I say the rare times I talk, especially around the midterms and finals times: “why am i here? i am so tired i want to cry and sleep forever”

The rectangle has the lyrics of a song that makes me feel really good (NIPPON, by Shiina Ringo). I wish I could feel like that all the time, but I can’t, so that section is not unified with the rest.

I made this around midterm season. I started to get really into the magenta-cyan-yellow color palette around this time, and now I love magenta with all my heart.
