~The Depression project website~
My aim for this project is to raise awareness about mental health and its importance (mainly focusing on depression as it is the most common problem when it comes to mental health). This was achieved by creating a website that will be focused on depression.
On the website, there's information like: What mental health is, what depression is, symptoms of depression, causes of depression and how to help someone who is struggling with their mental health. I believe that those are the most important points when it comes to mental health and aren't too complicated to understand for an average student.
The website has an overall theme of positivity and happiness which was created through the use of color, visuals and use of language. The colors that were used the most were blue for calmness, white for peace and trust, and yellow for happiness and optimism. Maintaining the theme throughout the website was a very important to keep in mind as those things affect the mood of the reader. Throughout the website, positive emotions and feelings should be promoted.
The information and language used in the website is simple and easy to understand as it is aimed at teenagers (which I know would rather not read long paragraphs and complicated sentences to receive the information :P ) The information in general was minimized, precise and straight to the point. I also tried to write in bullet points wherever possible so that it's easy on the eye.
The functionality was very important as well as that is what make a website user friendly. I included a navigation bar on the header so that it's easy to go from one page to another. I also included links on the home page for useful resources and events to do with mental health. Linked in the footer is an instagram page I previously created for optimistic quotes to brighten up peoples day, I think that this is also useful to achieve my goal.
