The first post that I connected with was one that stated 3 simple statements; āMusic today. Music tomorrow. Music forever.ā I found the design to be effective, as the text was written in a somewhat digitally faded font. The message caught my attention because music is without a doubt a huge part of my everyday life. I honestly donāt even know when could have possibly been the last day I went without listening to some sort of music, and I feel that might be true for many others as well. Music is a great medium to release certain emotions. Itās amazing how whether you may be feeling angry, sad, happy, etc. chances are you have certain songs that can help you out in those situations. Music has the ability to get you through almost every situation imaginable, and not to mention it keeps you company whenever you step out of your house and are going somewhere. The second post I found interesting was one that read āAlways look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.ā It is a quote by Robert Schuller. I thought the design of this post was very intriguing because it had a series of steps laid out in front of you as if that is whatās left for you to reach whatever you are striving for. In the case of the picture that would be the bottom of the steps. I felt the design did a great job of capturing the quote. The post makes me think about how I should always keep my priorities in check when trying to achieve something. I cannot get caught up in things that I have gone through, rather I need to focus on the small steps I need to accomplish in order to reach the end goal. The third post that I enjoyed was a vine that briefly covered nickelodeon shows from the 1990s. I loved this post because it brought me back to my childhood. The vine had animations of shows like CatDog, Doug, the Rugrats, Jimmy Neutron, and Ren and Stimpy among others. These were the shows that I grew up on and it was cool to see this ātributeā to those shows. Although the post did make me realize how old Iāve become, those shows meant everything to me and were a joy to watch as a kid. Lastly, the final post that caught my attention was one that states āYou never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.ā This quote is one of the most famous by Bob Marley, and that immediately drew me in because I am a fan of his. The design did a great job of communicating this message because behind the words is a picture of a black wolf, covered in snow with a somewhat determined/serious look in his eyes. Wolves are strong animals themselves, and they must be strong in order to survive on an everyday basis. The use of the wolf really did a good job painting a picture for this quote. The words themselves made me think about how everyone, whether they know it or not, is a strong individual. Sometimes, it just takes some digging deep down and certain circumstances for us to discover our true strength. Ā
