Throughout my life, I have been shy and socially awkward. One thing that
always boosts me up is listening to "Self Esteem"
by Nelly. It's been a staple in my playlist since I first stumbled upon
it, to hype me up and boost my confidence.
You see my self-esteem, I'm never leavin' home without it They told me I'd never make it, they told me I ain't doubt it Now tell me whoever make it, now tell me I ain't got it I'm seein' No Limits nigga, who sayin' I ain't Bout it? WOO!
You got to believe in yourself Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yoursel-elf, yeah And everything else'll work out, you'll see Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh I think I - naw, I know I can!!
The Process
I had an idea to incorporate a thumbs-up into a design with the words "I
know" and "I can," but I couldn't make it work with other elements. So I
reluctantly dropped the idea and opted for big and bold words to convey
the empowerment of the song.
Although I enjoy designing this, I realized I struggle with
choosing colors. If I were to revisit the design, I would focus on
making the colors more daring and fearless.
