I chose the quote, “Rule your mind, or it will rule you.” This quote really resonated with how I am feeling at the moment. I am currently going through some tough personal issues and it’s really difficult to not have that affect your daily routine. Some days I want to just stay home and not talk to anyone. I really do  need to remind myself that life goes on, I need to control your own mind and look on the positive side of things.

I chose the ocean as my illustration because it has a sense of emptiness to it. Yet, the ocean is so vast that it shows that there are much more things to look forward to. Endless possibilities with a sense of being alone.

The typeface I chose was helvetica, while i adjusted the boldness and the form of the text. I made the first part “rule your mind” very bold and stern, while “or it will rule you” was italicized to emphasize the alternative.
