explanation of my graphic: sabi ng aming mentor (naks, pili daw kami ng mental illness. i picked anxiety kasi dun ako pinakafamiliar. tas tinanong nya kami kung ano ang weakness namin, sabi ko typography so she asked me to make a poster with at least 50% typography. yung main concept nung poster ay kung ano ang nararamdaman ng isang tao with anxiety. i focused on symbolism para astig (lol). FIRST, yung crumpled paper. whenever i feel anxious, i feel like sht. kasi parang ang gulo gulo ng utak ko minsan and being a pessimist as well, puro negative thoughts ang iniisip ko lagi.SECOND, birds. sinisimbolize nung birds yung kagustuhan ng taong yun na makawala sa anxiety. pero pinunit nya yung drawing nyang birds because---THIRD, yung ripped effect. sinisimbolize nun yung parang kahit anong gawin nya. naaanxious pa rin sya. and when i feel anxious ulit, i feel torn dahil sa indecisiveness, hence the phrase, "what if" and she's torn from the inside dahil sa vulnerability na nararamdaman ng isang tao pag naaanxious FOURTH, yung words. lahat yun may kinalaman sa anxiety :) kung ano yung iniisip ng taong may anxiety or kung ano ang nararamdaman nya. FIFTH, yung title. sabi ng mentor namin, mas maganda kung may tag line yung poster kasi promotional poster nga sya. "it's okay." kasi simple lang, like the poster, pero effective pag sinabi mo sa taong may anxiety c:

how did i make my poster: si taylor swift talaga yung model haha, ginawa ko lang na silhouette. tas clipping mask ng mga words. tas yung ripped texture sa gilid gilid. sa likod nung silhouette, naglagay lang ng PNG ng birds. tas crumpled texture, other textures, psd coloring. c:what have i learned: na masaya pala gawin ang minimalist/typography na poster c: and kaya ko palang makuntento sa minimalist na poster lol
