Stephanie and I contacted over 25 women, asking them what advice they would give their 21 year old selves. We focused on that positivity and retrospection amongst both friends and strangers. Their textual responses have been recorded on our Tumblr site, here:
Twenty Five 21s
There is a submission box for more advice-collecting. A different piece of advice is presented when you refresh the page. The answers are sometimes surprising, but always thoughtful.
The tactile element of large form printed texts allows the advice to be "blown up" and made more tangible. I liked that it made me take the advice more seriously when I saw it in my hands, and not on a screen. I really hope we will receive responses online and continue the process!
