This project is very close to my heart because I think mental health is a very important issue. It was a two part project. For the first part, I was to create a poster about mental health. Many people struggle with their mental health, so I wanted to pair an attention-grabbing image with a meaningful phrase. I found some photos to use from a royalty free photo site. I then edited them to better fit my project. Then I came up with a striking phrase. I wanted to impress the reader with the phrase while letting them know they are not alone.
The second part of the project was to take the poster we created and create a folded infographic tabloid to go with it. I wanted to give the reader as much information as possible on how to help themselves and others. I expanded the poster in Photoshop so that it would cover the front and back of my folded infographic.
After researching my topic, I compiled the information and created the graphics and layout in Adobe Illustrator. I wanted the information in my infographic to be accommodating and easy to read.
I am very pleased with the way this project turned out, and had a great time researching and creating something that I believe can help someone who is in a difficult situation.
