Graduation Things Pt.1, Week 7: Concept Map

To create a project from start, I need to come up with what I want to change or give to society in order to help with mental well-being, I then quickly map out 2 mindmaps which are 2 projects: Independent Project and External Brief.

For my independent project, it would be more flexible with what I would like to do for my final outcome. And so I started off wanting to do something ASMR-related, where the initial plan was to collect data and do an ASMR Video with medicine pills. In a way, it metaphorically relates to the stereotypical term where people with mental health issues take heavy drugs to maintain being "healthy". After going for a tutorial, a suggestion was made to make the project more comprehensible by making it an app that is ASMR-themed. In a way, it could act as a destresser when users use it.

On the other hand, for my external brief, it is known that we have to choose a competition or a client's work in order to achieve the project, I then looked into the competition options instead. I then thought that doing something I could relate to bringing awareness to the issue. Bottled-up emotions are not something easy to be open about, and it is understood that the surroundings and influence during the growth of a child are heavily inflicted. And so I came to the decision of signing up for the Golden Pinwheel Award, a children's storybook illustration competition.
