Dose Of Provocation -- Instagram Page Seeking Help To Help Make Great Designs Around The Content
The purpose of this project is to find one or two designers to create high-quality designs around the substance of the posts for an Instagram (IG) page.
This is the page: https://www.instagram.com/doseofprovocation/
"Dose of Provocation" as an IG page will feature a regular stream ("dose") of powerful, thought provoking ideas, quotes, and wisdom from great minds, ancient and modern.
Its followers/subscribers won't always agree with posts, and occasionally may even find themselves unnerved.
If that's the case, the post was successful.
To grow, we must all be willing to entertain ideas and truths no matter how uncomfortable they are and learn from them objectively.
The target audience of the IG Page will be those that are interested in self-help/self-development, daily motivation, philosophy, truth seekers, stoics, etc.
In essence, anyone that loves thinking abstractly, being challenged, objectivity, and doesn't shy away from provocation of ideas.
So, I'm aiming for designs around the content that in themselves will be "striking"/"jarring" in a way to reflect the "striking"/"jarring" and uncomfortable nature of the sort of ideas that will be posted.
But that's a "nice to have" aspiration.
The "must have" purpose is really to just have designs period.
Otherwise, all I'll be posting is just quotes/ideas without much of a design, which may not be as compelling/catchy/interesting.
Here are some examples of other pages that do something similar:
Example1: https://www.instagram.com/fullspiritquotes
Example 2: https://www.instagram.com/PathsOfMeaning
Example 3: https://www.instagram.com/mr_jazzgoodlife
Example 4: https://www.instagram.com/stoicreflections
Example 5: https://www.instagram.com/quoteoftheday
Etc. etc.
There's hundreds of them....
I want to do something basically similar.
So what I'm looking to do is maybe 2-5 posts/week if/once it gets rolling.
To get started on this project, here are some example famous quotes that I would love to see designed as they will be the first dozen or so to be posted on the new page:

First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer
Post #3 | We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Post #4 | Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe.
The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass. - D.
H.
Lawrence
Post #6 | Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. - Harry S.
Truman
Post #7 | Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein
Post #8 | There is one thing stronger than all the armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come. - Victor Hugo
