Project One!

Even though that this is due today! Or last week.... Something like that.
I wanted to do something along the line of something to do with a blind side.
I came up with that idea while driving and having people hanging out in my blind spot.
Then I got the idea of using my uncle kevin since he is actually blind.

Anywhom, I wanted to do something that was people were "blind" about.
One of our lovely classmates mentioned mental illness, and that is right up my alley!!

I have an aunt who was mentally ill - she was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her early 20's. After she was diagnosed everyone's life was turned to basically hell. It was believed that she was diagnosed with drug induced schizo, which most people are diagnosed from that way.

Billboard:
The billboard is made the way it is because it allows the eye to move across the page and feel different emotions. The faded faces show many different emotions, and the two strong faces on the sides show how quickly ones mood can change with a mental illness such as schizo.

The Ad:
The ad was just simple, but eye catching at the same time. I added the local NAMI site for societal engagement. I took the sunset picture in the background in the mountains. But showing someone the light can change everyone's life!

The Poster:
The poster is telling someone many different things.
Can you tell who lived with mental illness?
Vivien Leigh - Robin Williams - Vincent Van Gogh

Mental Illness is.....


The thought behind this is that you cannot tell who lives with mental illness. Everyone in the poster lived with some sort of mental illness - all of them schizo or along the lines of.

It's a trick, cause you cannot tell.
