Postsecret

My postsecret card reads, "I'm in love with a stripper." Dividing the words is an image of a stripper dancing on a pole. I was trying to think of a secret that would stand out from my other classmates' secrets, something that would catch everyone's attention. I also wanted it to really look like a card that would be seen on the website. I tried to emphasize the word "stripper" because it is the highlight of my secret. It is written in a showy font, as well as is much larger than the other words. The other words are in plain, bold text, showing that the author is not embarrassed, nor proud of his/her secret, but is indifferent. I drew the picture of the stripper because that best represents the point I was trying to get across. Everyone immediately knew what I was writing about and it probably caught attention. Some people referenced the card to the pop song that has the same lyrics, and said because of that they couldn't really take it seriously. I actually didn't even think of that song when I was creating my postsecret because I was writing as an older, maybe married man, that would most likely not even know the song.
