Final posters and flyers

From the survey feedback, I developed another poster to inform students of doodling for mental health. It is consistent with the brand styling, offering support to students in a simple layout but with bright illustrations. The final outcomes of the poster are effective at promoting the campaign in a vivid style to appeal to students. […]

Social Media Posts

The social media aspect of the campaign adds another layer of communication to the target audiences. The posts can offer more support, tips and advice on mental health, helping to remind students their mental health is important all the time. I want to develop various forms of posts, so the social media pages aren’t boring […]

Wellbeing planner finals

Below are all the final pages of the wellbeing planner, from the intro pages to the diary and tracker itself.

User Testing – Surveys to teachers and students

To gain feedback and insight from the target audience, my plan is to make two short surveys, one for teaching staff and the other for students. I’m hoping those from a teaching background will be able to provide me with insight into how children learn and process information, as well as how to structure their […]

Poster ideas and development

Before I send the surveys off, I also developed two posters that can help promote the campaign across schools. These can be used in classrooms, hallways and support centres, with the hopes of standing out and reminding students to take care of their mental wellbeing. This poster above stems from the idea of students feeling […]

Worksheets further development

What is going on inside my head? This task gets the students to create an illustrated pie chart of their most common thoughts, if they’re good or bad. They create calming patterns in each section, that can help to reduce stress and anxiety. This will also flag up any concerning or common thoughts students are […]
