Meesterproef Final Project Minor 1

Date

Overview

Changing the way we feel by changing the way we talk about Mental Health. An interactive case.

"The waiting lists in mental health care are increasing. Talk to friends and family more often about your feelings, is what they say. But if you look at social media, you can see that you can also go too far. There, it’s unhealthily often about our mental health."
Opening of the Article

The website is a based on an excellent article written by Nina Polak called "Moeten we niet wat minder over onze Mentale Gezondheid praten?" This artictle discusses the problems in the way we talk about Mental Health nowadays, exploring the problems in the language we use. It's an article that really spoke to me and inspired me to make this project in which I, not only discuss these problems brought up in the article, I also allow readers to immideatly make changes in their vocabulary by implementing interactive elements.

Concept Creation

Vinyl depot is a new online platform that helps people discover new and second vinyl and accessories in a new way. Instead of regular catalogs full of music you can filter through hundreds of LP’s in a different way: Filter on type of vinyl case, color, quantity and mood or genre.

The mood filter exists out of 3 scales: Emotion, Intensity and Amplification. Each combination of the three gives a new unique selection of LP’s allowing users to discover new gems that they otherwise would’ve never heard of.
