Title: IDEA: NUANCED MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS
Poster 1 (yellow, with a bell curve graph):

A vertical strip of five mock motivational posters under the title "IDEA: NUANCED MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS." Each poster pairs an upbeat slogan with a deflating, honest qualifier. 1) Yellow poster with a bell curve: "YOU ARE AWESOME / BY A STANDARD THAT WOULD CONSIDER 95% OF PEOPLE AWESOME." 2) Blue poster showing a confident figure beside a faded grey figure: "YOU MAY BE DOING A GREAT JOB / BUT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ASK YOUR PEERS." 3) Purple poster with a silhouetted face in profile: "BE WHO YOU ARE / BUT ALSO YOU CAN CHANGE / BASICALLY, EVERYTHING YOU DO CAN BE SPUN AS SELF-AFFIRMATION." 4) Green poster with a mountain peak: "NO ONE CAN REPLACE YOU / BUT THEN, NOBODY'S REALLY TRYING TO." 5) Pink poster with a tiny figure: "DOUBT KILLS MORE DREAMS THAN FAILURE / BUT RANDOM CHANCE IS LIKE GRIM REAPER FOR DREAMS." Votey: a big grinning cartoon face declares "CARTOONING IS A REAL CAREER / BUT SO IS COMPETITIVE HOT DOG EATING."
