Base Image
1st Iterations
Prompt: Distillation
I started with alterations of the base image, just playing and experimenting with the base image To assist, I had a colleague come up with different word prompts for me to try and fulfill.
Prompt: Fill
2nd Iterations
Prompt: Self Care
Prompt: The Love of Others
This project was inspired to address the stigma surrounding mental health in Asian American communities. This project started with this cute little character that I made to illustrate the idea of taking care of your brain, taking a moment to shelter it from the harshness of life.
Prompt: Silhouette
Prompt: Grid
Prompt: Fragment
Prompt: Weirdness
Prompt: Your Pain
Wanting to add type to the 1st iterations, I created some experiments to try and capture a style for this project. I used words to add to the 1st iterations. The words selected were meant to emphasize self acceptance and self care.
Prompt: Your Flaws
3rd Iterations
Prompt: Art
I wasn’t really satisfied with the last round of iterations. I realized that the words used were mostly negative, So for these, I went back to the 1st iterations as a base and had a different colleague give me more positive words in response to the question, “how could someone take care of their mental health?” I then added to them, implementing the answers through the type content and design choices.
