Hey Alih. I really like this. I get the impression she is writing this in her book. The fonts complement each other well, and the yellow color feels right. It would have been difficult to find a legible font, but it would have been cool if the article’s wording were in some kind of script to further emphasize that the subject was writing it.
I really don’t see the connection with the photo and the article chosen. unfortunately, but that is just me. The color choice of the yellow looks very soothing against the black and white photo and the font is very classic, which also goes with a black and white photo.
Hi Alih,
This is great! I think the black and white does something here that would have been lost in a color photo. Good artistic decision on your part. (And yes, it is really hard to remember that “we” are included in “everyone” isn’t it?) Contra Troy’s comment, I think the script font would have been a better option for the title. For his same reasoning.
I did not immediately connect the image to the topic at first, but the more I looked at it, the more it made sense. It shows an everyday person in a quiet moment, and that actually made it feel more relatable to me. It reminded me how important it is to feel secure in ordinary, daily life — not just in big, dramatic moments. The black-and-white tone adds a reflective quality, and the yellow gives it a subtle warmth. Overall, it feels personal and thoughtful.
