I took the lead from despair.com and decided to take a satirical approach to motivational posters. I intended to have a joking and pessimistic tone, while keeping the demotivational poster current. I also wanted to have the appearance of being motivational, so I used warm tones and unnecessary flourishes in the background. Once I found the free hugs picture, I was able to incorporate "embracing" failure as well as a current issue-- American economy. The people in the picture represent failure, and the "free hugs" sign implies that failure is free. With the economic climate today, people are more prone to things that are free, therefore, illustrating the appeal of failure. The basic message of the poster is that a person is not always going to succeed, and now is the time to accept failure with open arms.
