Postsecret Art

Every Sunday, I can't wait to get up and look at my favorite website, Postsecret. If you've never heard of it, the concept is simple: people anonymously send in their secrets to Frank Warren, who then posts them on the website. As of Wednesday night, Postsecret had 159 million hits. Warren has published several books filled with secrets. He also travels the country doing presentations and showing more secrets. Recently, Postsecret has started chapters in other countries.

The reason I want to feature Postsecret is because of the artistic nature of the secrets. While some are barely legible handwritting on lined notebook paper, most use strong visuals like bright colors and eye-catching images. Not only are the images powerful in the secrets, the message also stands out.
