Due to the ongoing restrictions brought about by Covid-19, many young people–especially students–are struggling to cope with the pressures of isolation and remote learning. These issues can cause an increase in mental health conditions such as anxiety. I personally suffered from anxiety throughout this year resulting in me finally reaching out for help. After coming to terms with my mental health I decided to focus the aim of this project into an anxiety awareness campaign. This campaign would help raise the profiles of the different types of anxiety, provide a space where people could seek information and comfort, and ultimately help in removing the stigmas associated with anxiety. Adapting the idea of “visualising what can be difficult to vocalise” I built the identity around simple, yet clear illustrations to create a visual language that wouldn’t appear too overwhelming, creating a campaign that helps visualise anxiety rather than just explaining it. It can be difficult to speak about what is going on inside our headspace and translate it into words.

My objective was to collate a history of the Scoville Scale and present it as a celebration piece that truly showcased the scale and its history. From early research I established that people knew of the Scoville Scale, yet the vast majority were unable to explain what exactly it was or how it worked. I wanted to take what is a rich narrative that is rather scattered and bring it together through important milestones within the Scoville timeline. The scale itself dated back as far as 1912 but the subject matter it measures dates back much further.
