Six Word Memoir #7

Future: Blank page, clean slate, growing up.

For this 6 word memoir I wrote 'Blank page, clean slate, growing up.' which basically means that I'm very open minded for my future. As of right now, I don't have many ideas for what I want to do after High School, other than post secondary education. I wrote clean slate because I want to start fresh and do something new and exciting following High School. For the visual, I used a blurred image of university booklets to represent my blurred vision for my future. The only clear part in the image is the University of Manitoba logo, just like the only clear part in my mind is that I want to go to University. I used larger commas to show a pause in between words and further show that I don't know what I want to do after High School.

Six Word Memoir #6

Confession: I'd rather be on the island

One of the things that I would love to do in my life, is be a cast member on  Survivor. On Survivor, 20 people are stranded on a deserted island to play a game of strategy. Survivor, is my second favorite TV show and I would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to play it one day. I wrote that I would rather be on the island, meaning play the game of Survivor. The font I chose has a Survivor-esque feel to it and I chose to write it in black because at times, the game can be a dark, cold hearted game, which is one of the many aspects I love about it.

Six Word Memoir #5

Confession: I hardly feel any older now

For one of my memoirs I decided to use the confession that I hardly feel any older now than I do when I was younger. I chose to use this because it's simply how I feel. When you're a kid you always think and wonder what it's like to be a teenager and quite frankly, it feels no different. The picture that I chose to represent this was my picture for when I graduated Kindergarten. I chose this picture because I think it relates to me now since I will be graduating from High School in June. I used the white font to tie in with the theme of the picture, white is a very innocent color and when you're 4 or 5 years old, you're just that.

Six Word Memoir #4

Family: They will always come back home.

For this memoir I decided to use my cats to represent my family. The reason I have two cats is because a couple years ago my one cat, Tabby, went missing in the winter for 2 weeks. My family and I figured that she wouldn't come back home, so we went to the human society to get another cat before Christmas. A couple days after we got Ginger, Tabby came home. We were all surprised that she was able to survive in the -30°C weather. My cats go outside at out cottage almost every weekend and they always come home, hence why I chose the wording for this memoir. This also applies to my family in the sense that no matter what happens we're always there for each other. I used the color blue for the font because it symbolizes trust, wisdom and faith all characteristics that I think my family embraces.

Six Word Memoir #3

My Past: Regret is a six letter word.

Whenever people bring up things in my past the first word that comes to mind is regret. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people have the constant need to talk about things that happened when I was younger. Whether it's stupid things I did in elementary school or the length of my hair in middle school, I always think of regret. For the visual I decided to use a crossword puzzle and the word regret in a 6 letter space. The black and white represents the dark past and my regret for it. I don't regret everything in my past, but just the little things that are recurring conversation topics. I used yellow for the font because some people say that it can represent impatience and criticism, which is exactly how I feel about my past.

Six Word Memoir #2

Hate: I don`t like the word hate!

For this memoir, I decided to use a picture of the word `hate`with an X through it to symbolize my disdain for the word. I believe hate is a very strong word and that it should not be used on a daily basis. Whenever I go somewhere I always hear people use the word and I highly doubt people actually hate the things that they are talking about. I hardly ever use the word hate and when I do, it is because it slips out of my mouth accidentally. I used an explanation mark at the end to further emphasize that I don't like to hear the word hate.I used red, orange and black colors for the X and for the text color because those are the colors that come to mind when I think of the word hate.

Six Word Memoir #1

Love: Both the Reilly girls are taken...

When I think of love, the first people that come to my mind are Elissa and Rachel Reilly. Elissa and Rachel were on the TV show Big Brother, Rachel on seasons 12/13 and Elissa on season 15. After watching them for 75 days, 3 different summers I found myself loving them. For the visual, I decided to use a photo of each of them on my iPhone and iPad. I chose to do this because that`s how I am able to talk to them. We email, tweet or text each other at least once a week to keep in touch. I used an ellipsis at the end to show that the story goes on so to speak, my love life won`t end because the Reilly`s are taken. However, at this time in my life I`m not looking for a girlfriend right now, so the only women I love, outside my family, are Rachel and Elissa.
