Abstract
The body of this research looks at the relationship between a persons’ mental state and how color is perceived. It uses graphic design to bring awareness to the issue of mental health by visually comparing these differences. By measuring the color perception between those who are clinically depressed and those of a healthy mental state, this gives an objective way to help diagnose depression. This objectivity can also help create awareness and give better understanding of depression to the general population. This can be done through well-known phrases used to describe sadness, such as, “feeling blue,” and understanding their scientific meaning, the relationship between perception of color and mood. Understanding the objective meaning behind these phrases helps bridge the gap of understanding and awareness.
