Research
For my research I had looked at a few new websites and see
what is not covered as much as it should be. The one thing which I didn’t see
pop up on any news sites was anything about mental health. This made me start thinking
why mental health on media. Is it due to the fact it is a sensitive topic and
they don’t want to hurt people which are reading it. Or is it because the
people who own these main stream media papers and news pages don’t care about
mental health.
So that made me decide to do my work about mental health as
it has a huge impact on people no matter how old or young you are. I also thought
about which types of mental health impact more people. But then I decided for
my topic to just talk about mental health as a whole and speak about what main
stream media doesn’t speak about. This made my design of my triptych come into
my head. I wanted to show that people who have mental health are able to break
through it no matter how low they are. They should know that there are people
and organisations that would listen to them. The organisations that came to my
mind is Mental Health Foundation and Mind. These are the two well-known charities
in the UK which help people with mental health.

Pre-Production
Before I even started to decide what images to use I created
a mood board this was so that all the ideas I come up with is able to be shown
on my blog and then from all the images texts which is on the mood board gets chosen
from there. I decided to make my own quote as the quotes which I had found were
not good for the work I was going to show. I had used Photoshop to design which
layout would be the best for my work as well.
The one I liked more was 3 pages going from low to high
which shows in mental health you are able to go from a low point to a high
point in life. It make take time or it may not take time but it’s possible and
everyone can push through anything which it putting them down. That is why I decided
on the low-high for my triptych. This would also make the viewer want to read
what is says and see what it actually is about. As the triptych has a funky
style to it as most triptychs just go in a straight line up or down. Whereas my
design would have a better view on it and be more engaging.

Questionnaire
I decided to make a questionnaire to get a variety of people
opinions on mental health. The results stayed anonymous as I didn’t want people
to think that I would have judged them or just thought of them differently.
This made my answers more safe and secure. I also had to think of questions
which wouldn’t affect them in anyway. I also had to pick questions which wouldn’t
be too personal so I had added a yes, no, maybe answers as this made it easier
and so that people wouldn’t judge them for what they say or answer with. They
were allowed to circle to maybe if they didn’t want to tell anyone about it.
