Choosing an idea

As i have chosen the topic of my piece of design as stress and reflecting on that i also wanted to choose to present it in a way that i have leaflet this year but something that i succeeded in as this will lighten the stress of this project.
things i think  succeeded in :
screen printing
publication design
leaflet design / using folds
typography /typesetting

Out of the above technique i think i would like to create a leaflet that shows how other students have dealt with stress, so that i will influence the forth coming students and let them reflect on how they are going to minimise stress in their upcoming year. By creating this i will also be using my typesetting skills.

To start this brief off i decided to ask a group of students "how have you dealt with their stress of this year?"

- " I wrapped myself up in bed, eat nutella and watch tv series"
- " I went out and drank"
- "I slept until i feel less stressed and more relaxed"
- "I had a drink or two then started to work"
- "I dont cope so i drank"
- "Just did the work"

From asking these select few people straight away it was clear that students dealt with stress by drinking. As i couldn't create a booklet were everyone was saying to drink to deal with stress, as this would be promoting drinking, i decided that it would be a good idea to create a drink aware leaflet that is aimed at students to try and reduce the amount of students abusing alcohol.
