Every classroom had ‘em: inspirational posters. How else were we to know that “ENTHUSIASM IGNITES GREATNESS” or that “QUITTERS NEVER WIN.” And the motivational fortitude didn’t stop on our classroom walls. The secrets to success were everywhere: waiting rooms, libraries, even our parents’ place of buisness. Who could ever forget Mom’s favorite, “HANG IN THERE BABY.”

Instructions

Create one or more works based off of a line from a motivational poster. This may require some research. “Hang in there baby” is an obvious candidate for this, but certainly exciting subject material. Other lines we’ve come across include, “THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK,” “Math=Success,” and “FRIENDS ARE CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN THE COOKIE OF LIFE.” You may also come up with a short inspirational saying of your own.

Always remember, poster design is just one of thousands of acceptable formats for submission. You could make a PSA, a T-shirt, an edgy Karate Kid-esque montage song, whatever!
