The task to reduce complex matters into simple, refined visual graphics commenced with a study of graphic forms and visual cognition. After an independent study of graphic art styles and potential complex topics, I was granted the opportunity to interview persons who identified with each of the 36 different DSM-specified mental health disorders and gather their personal insights towards their respective experiences. These were analysed and collaboratively visualised using a paper medium and a total of three shapes and two colours, and presented in a bound booklet.
