The Art of Psychology Week in Ateneo de Naga ;)

On the last week of february, I was tasked to create four typography designs for the Psychology Week in Ateneo. It was a great challenge for me because it's been awhile since I last used photoshop to create typography. As usual, the struggle was real...it made me drained thinking how I am supposed to make everything look creative and not mediocre. I even tried googling for ideas but unfortunately I was so uninspired.

So what I did was to listen to old songs (it is a form of therapy to me hahaha). I love listening to Lani Misalucha's renditions and covers of old songs. I must be weird for loving the song "Starting Over Again" but (hey) it was helpful for me to finally create something acceptable to be a placard design for Psychology Week. I think I found the mood of the songs really motivating and inspiring that I was moved to create the following typography:

It has been 255 days since we last saw each other, to be exact. 255 days later and I still think about him but not in the way that I used to when it was just a week after we’ve seen each other. I used to pray for him everyday, pray if he was the one that was made for me forever, and I had very good answers from those prayers only to find that it was a different prayer that has been given great answers. Of course I felt bad knowing that he was not for me, but what really made me feel even worse was when I find out more about his past (that he didn't tell me about which I think, I deserved to know).

It did hurt and I don’t know how to describe that emptiness that filled my heart when I found about his past and his present. I asked myself: “Why am I hurting? If I really love him, I would accept him no matter how bad his flaws are” and I don’t know what to answer. It did hurt…it hurt like hell or even more than hell that it made me (who loves food and more food) stopped eating for a few days that even my family asked if I am on a diet. It was a bad time in my life, I even wished to just unlove him but I don’t know how…and I still can’t resist checking his profile and his new girl’s profile just to check on him if he’s alright without me (but of course he is!!!).

So, really, how do you know when you’ve already moved on?
