Post Secret Card

The secret for my post secret card is about Michael Jordan and his "other" life. He allegedly payed his former lover Karla Knafel  $250,000 to keep their relationship secret. She also claimed that he said he would pay $5 million for remaining silent and agreeing to not to file a paternity suit after she learned she was pregnant in 1991. I conveyed this all very implicitly. I used pictures of all of the businesses Jordan is involved in, owns, or  is sponsored by. Also I used a divider line and a picture of the word "Shhh" crossed out to show that he has a secrets that he doesn't want to mix into his business life. He was such an entrepaneur and didn't want to involve his personal life into his business life. I positioned everything split apart because that is what it was actually like in Jordan's life. I wanted to portray the persona that everyone see's "me" as a superstar basketball player/business man but that in fact I have my own problems and secrets. I wanted every viewer to see that even the biggest and most "perfect" superstar athletes have their own problems and secrets.
