Create some sort of graphic. Design the overall graphic to convey some sort of feeling or theme, but then have text saying something completely contradictory to the theme or feeling. Sort of like one of those old anti-motivational posters, but with more design than a black box with a white frame.

A Beautiful Day at Sea
I love contradictions.
Having survived a number of heavy rolls at sea I always found it funny when my land lubber friends would wish me smooth sailing as I would depart for another 9 month deployment at sea.

Cheers mean their upset: Contradiction Creation
This picture is at the Nationals baseball game. As you can tell the crowd is very excited over something happening, but thought I’d change it up a bit and make the text saying otherwise. I’m a big Washington Nationals fan and found this picture of mascot Teddy jumping up and …
In the eye of the storm. Wait, wrong weather metaphor
It’s been a wild year. I think a lot of people would agree. Sometimes there’s so much going on it’s like being caught in a tornado of unending crappiness, and all the debris keeps hitting you in the face and saying, “you thought that was the worst it could get? …

This one was fun. I had to find an image that conveys a feeling and then create a quote that conveys the complete opposite. Then I had to combine them.

It was such a beautiful day out so I thought I would post a picture that expressed this. I hope this gives everyone motivation throughout the day! This blog post was inspired by a motivational quote.

Contradiction Creation
For the Contradiction Creation, I decided to find a negative picture and put positive text over it instead of the other way around. The quote is by Bob Ross, and is probably one of his most famous quotes about positivity, so I wanted to match it with “happy” and positive …
Lol
So for this I just searched “peaceful pictures” and saved that to my laptop. Then I opened pixlr and added a text box and just changed the color and position of my letters. It was funny to try and think of something awful and gloomy to put on this when …
Contradiction Creation
I decided to do the contradiction creation assignment. I found this photo on the internet and then edited it to add the text using Preview on my macbook. It was pretty easy once I learned how to do it. I decided to caption it “Nature Sucks” because clearly that is …
Contradiction Creation-I freaking love these
These things are so funny and perfect. I hate the cheesy photo with some inspirational quote, so the first person to create satire off of it is my hero. For this, it was really easy. I just found a basic nature picture on creative commons and thought of a funny …
Contradiction Creation
The picture looks so soft and loving, but there is a darker story to these people. Agent man bear pig strikes again….…

Concerts suck!
For my first assignment, I decided to do the Contradiction Creation assignment. I chose to do a concert picture because I thought it was pretty funny to do a contradiction of that since I am currently at a conference all about campus activities and my role is the chair of …
