SWA #12 My Postsecret Card
My Postsecret card was about Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Her secret was that she "tripped" and fell down a rabbit hole into her own fantasy world. I conveyed this implicitly because there is more meaning than just what was written on the card. I chose to write the word "tripped" because it could imply the interpretation about Alice entering a world of drugs. This was left up to interpretation by the creator, but it could explain her character in a deeper manner. Her secret is also known as dramatic irony, because we, the audience, know that she has fallen into a fantasy world, but the other characters such as her family do not know. I colored the background so it could appeal "trippy" or psychedelic. I included an eye crying because in the cartoon Alice says, "Oh dear, I do wish I hadn't cried so much." The tears were supposed to be falling towards the teacup. I wanted the text to be legible and I was hoping that the visuals I included would help others figure out who it was about. I wanted the viewer to be able to relate to her because sometimes we all get lost in our own little world full of nonsense.
