I’ve been asked how I make those motivational posters I sometimes put up:

AWETWOSOME: We rock. And so can you.

Truth is, I don’t make the framing. I’ve used 3 motivator creators (that rhymes awkwardly), and my favorite is AutoMotivator because I believe it captures the spirit of the original design archetype the best. After you’ve uploaded a picture, you can also switch between colors without refreshing the page.

In the options-laden area, there’s Motivator by BigHugeLabs. I like the options but both the title and under-text aren’t as typographically powerful, so they aren’t as convincing.

There’s also Despair, Inc.’s Parody Motivator Generator. Aside from different fonts including a curious “80’s arcade” choice, it doesn’t offer a clear advantage compared to the above two.

Get motivated, and share what you make in the comments. :)
