My senior year of undergrad, I wrote my thesis on the intersection of graphic design and mental health and illness. I gathered and presented evidence on how graphic design can help normalize mental illness and support positive mental health initiatives. I also interviewed UK-based artist Sarah Lopez about her project Mindnosis, which was inspired by her own experience with mental illness in an attempt to help others going through similar experiences. Included in the book are original illustrations that help bring vision to various mental health struggles as well as anonymous story excerpts from those who were willing to share their personal experiences with mental illness.
