Post Secret Card

My post secret card consists of the sentence I smoke because I think it makes me look cool on a black background with a picture of a cigarette in the middle. The text of the card is printed in a font to make the words seem almost handwritten. This was done to create the idea of it being personal. With the message I was trying to get the point across that the writer was only smoking to look “cool” even though campaigns are constantly saying that smoking is not cool and you should not do anything just to look “cool”. I chose the black background because smoking is usually considered a bad thing and black is the most suitable color. The presence of a cigarette is to display the image being discussed and to provide something other than a plain black background. Everyone seemed to get the idea pretty well because it is a fairly simple post secret card. The class reacted pretty much as would have expected them to on this particular card.

The plain black background makes me feel like the author is bored with smoking, that is doesn't actually make him/her feel "cool" anymore.

I think the point you tried to make was given very well.
