Analyzing 4 Postcards

This postcard shows a very lost person. The picture looks as if the person
is a young girl, looking up to the sky for advice. She is surrounded by a field of green, and she is also green, and it seems like it is swallowing her up. She does not know what to do with herself, and says she does not know what she believes anymore. A lot of times with children, they slowly lose sight of what they once believed in. Whether it be Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, or just knowing what a "friend" is.

The font looks like clippings out of a newspaper. They are very rough, and none if is straight. Especially the last word, "anymore". It is like it is falling off and away from the rest of the sentance. Making me believe that is they way that she feels about her life, that is she falling away from what she once believe in. She is just a very confused girl looking up to the sky, maybe a God for help.

This postcard looks like a lot of fun, but in reality it isn't. You see just a big group of people dancing, drinking, talking, and having fun together. But then the text at the bottom tells you otherwise.

The first thing you see is the picture of the people, and then in the bottom right corner you find the text, that doesn't exactly match up to the picture. The main words or phrases stand out by being in purple, while the rest of it is in black. The words that stand out are the real secret that this person is trying to get out and that is why they chose a brighter color for them. This person has a much different attempt to making this card than the previous one I did, because they are opposites. The previous one shows what their secret is, you can tell they are confused. Whereas this one is tricking you at first by making you think nothing is wrong with this photo.

This postcard has two feelings in one. The picture of the turkey is nicely laid out on a plate with some garnishing, and somebody about to carve it. Then the picture of the turkey is taped sloppily on top of a dingy white piece of paper that says "We're only coming out of guilt."

The handwritten text shows that it is personal, because the person that may see this will know who it is from. The white piece of paper with the writing on it show that the person does not really care, and doesn't feel very good about going to Thanksgiving. I think it is very interesting the way they made this postcard because you can tell from the picture that this person(s) are just putting on a beautiful show, when in reality they feel more like the dingy white paper.

This postcard instantly stuck out as sad. This person is hiding underneath their welding mask to hide from their reality of life, and to keep that they are not happy a secret from everybody around them. This is a boring postcard. The person is standing in front of a bland white background, and the writing is small . This shows that they are not satisfied with their life and there is nothing interesting or exciting about it because of the bland colors.

The welding mask looks like a weird face, which may represent the way this person sees them. Maybe odd, or uncomfortable, because this is not what a person would wear or look like on a normal daily basis.
