Personal Post Secret Card

The post secret card that I created consists of a picture of a very fast-looking car along with a cartoon picture of a police officer writing a ticket. There is text, with the author apologizing for the tickets and also asking to be picked up. With my message, I was trying to show the images associated with speeding; a fast car and a police officer. Since my subject was about speeding ticekts, I felt that these two images were very good representatives. When I showed my classmates my post secret card, they were easily able to undertand the message that I was trying to get across. I think this was because it is fairly straightforward, not really requiring too much interpretation. No one really saw beyong what I was trying to say other than that I might have a problem with authority / my parents, and that is why I drive fast and break the law. There were not any unexpected reactions to my card, I think this is because there is only one real message that could be interpreted from my card.

Since the police officer was drawn as a cartoon that might mean that the author doesn't really respect authority or that he/she feels that law enforcement is a joke.
