Mental Health Awareness Research

Below is a process book documenting all the research projects about mental health that I have done for my Design Studio 1 class. In the class, we were assigned to research a topic that interests us with the intention that it might evolve into o capstone project. I chose to focus on mental health because it is something I have struggled with a majority of my life and people I am close to have also struggled with it. I also was interested in learning more about this topic and how design connects to mental health.

This process book shows five mini research projects and two larger design research projects. In order, the projects are a research map, asking questions, rapid visualization sketches, collecting inspiration, a competitor analysis, a design research booklet, and a mental health awareness poster series.
