DESIGN FOR ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHIC APPLICATION - ISTD PROJECT
The word Migration refers to the Latin word “migratus” which means “to change.” Change and development is part of our world. The research focussed on the principles of typography, together with the Mental Migratory movements and its needs according to the context of the Slow Travel/ Movement Movement theory.
KEEP YOUR MENTAL MIGRATORY MOVEMENTS GOING:
Let’s do it slower, even if only once in a while?Lead a healthy mindset and enhance productivity through a change of perspective. Breathe. Adjust to a slower pace: a sort of temporal migratory lifestyle. Everyone needs a pause button. It will only be fair to give yourself a break. All human beings deserves the opportunity to take a moment to mentally migrate from a working head- space to a resting and calming state of mind.
The context of these designs looks into mental health and its migratory movements.

It aims at preventing extreme issues, such as anxiety, depression and much more. It is Vista Clinic’s philosophy to provide a therapeutic milieu conducive to the promotion of mental health. This includes a homely atmosphere. Their mission
is to extend God’s care by reaching out to individuals burdened with mental
illness through biological-, psychological-, social-, as well as spiritual healing and education. Their hearts are for caring and therefore makes them an ideal client that promotes a healthier, slower paced lifestyle in order to prevent extreme mental illness and combat the most common buildups that cause these mental illnesses.
The interactive murals in offices/ business buildings to remind individuals that it is necessary to take regular breaks and “just breathe” with small exercises to keep their attention and in effect force them to stand and take a moment out of their over-scheduled and over-whelmed working habits. There are eight different murals with different exercises which helps the participant to switch from a working headspace to a resting- and more calming headspace. In effect these murals contribute to the values of Vista mental organisation to combat extreme cases like depression or anxiety attRacts. By practising these exercises each day will, in long terms, prevent “meltdowns/ breakdowns”. This project aims at creating a sustainAble change in today’s fast and instant way of living.
The bookmarks are extensions of these murals to remind each individual to always take a break in between their daily routines. By keeping these designs around your piles of working papers or books will imply/ suggest a small break for some breathing space - just as the overall concept leads in the murals. The mental migratory movement is the goal of this project. The client, Vista mental health organisation, is the foundation and roots of this project which ensures this project to create a good mental health foundation for all overworked individuals. Not only do they experience new exercises or breathing space through these designs, but they are given the opportunity to scan the QR codes in order to have a direct link to mental help, if needed.
