The spaces have been inspired by the life of Joseph Mitchell and have been funded by a generous grant from Thomas Cooke Children’s Charity. Joseph was looked after by Alder Hey but sadly lost his fight in 2012 at the age of 2 and a half. Since he passed away his parents have set up a charity to help other bereaved parents. Joseph’s mother Lisa explains: “Joseph was such a brave little boy and never moaned about his illness or about being in hospital. “We became close to the cardiac team and all the staff on K2 and I wanted to thank them for everything they had done for Joseph. The spaces feature large scale projection, LED lighting and surround sound all controlled from an iPad featuring a full range of immersive content. Find out more by visiting an immersive space. The latest news is that as of yesterday, these reforms have now been approved by the House of Lords.
GraphicDesign& outline three projects that successfully support and impact mental wellbeing Can Graphic Design Save Your Life? was published earlier this year to coincide with GraphicDesign&’s exhibition of the same name that is currently on show at the Wellcome Collection. It examines the varied and vital relationship between graphic design and health, focussing on work that demonstrates how communication strategies and visual languages are employed to persuade, inform and ultimately protect. The book asks its contributors to respond to the title question and demonstrates how graphic design impacts what we notice, what we understand and the actions we take. We spoke to GraphicDesign& and asked them to consider the role of graphic design specifically in the world of mental health. Ollie Alpin – Mind Journal Mind Journal was created by graphic designer Ollie Alpin, inspired by his personal experience of anxiety, panic attacks and mental breakdown.
Eight of the most thought-provoking design responses to mental health For World Mental Health Day, we've rounded up eight designs that address the increasingly prevalent topic of mental wellbeing, including a hand-held anxiety reducer and a metaphorical gun that fires tears. Mindnosis by Sara Lopez Ibanez Having had her own negative experiences with mental health services, design graduate Sara Lopez Ibanez created a self-assessment kit to support those with similar issues. After researching the UK's approach to mental health services and the various types of therapy on offer, Ibanez concluded that what patient's struggled with the most was the initial communication with their doctors. Her Mindnosis kit, therefore, allows users to discover the type of help they need, and where they can get it from.

“We’re on a mission to show what graphic design can do” Can graphic design save your life? This is the question posed by Wellcome Collection’s latest exhibition, which explores the impact of graphics and advertising on healthcare. The show, which was conceptualised by designer Lucienne Roberts, looks at how design has been used both to help and to harm. Now, a book has been released under the same name, exploring the same topic. The small, A5 books all follow a similar structure. We speak to Roberts about why she chose to publish this book, how graphics can be integral to the medical world, and the value titles like these can bring to a non-design audience. Design Week: Why did you decide to publish this book, alongside putting on the exhibition? Lucienne Roberts: GraphicDesign& came first as a publishing venture. The book is also much richer in terms of voices. DW: Who is the book aimed at? LR: With all our books, we try to make sure they’re not full of jargon. DW: What are some of the other books in your series? LR: It was a big job.
