Depression leaflets


As always the leaflet contains someone holding their head since that is the go to motif for depression. The leaflet was overall just really worded and very little pictures. What pictures there were, were depressing to look at (irony much)

Look at all that writing. If your feeling depressed its quite unlikely you'll want to sift through that big block of text. This isn't even all of it, just the maximum i could zoom out.









All the leaflets are just very dry and plain and are normally have red in them. Which is weird for medical things because they tend to stick to non- alarming colours.
I will not be using red in the book. saying that right here right now
No brainer decision
Their designer/typographer  should be fired


and of course another photo of someone looking sad.



Now a sad man so everyone is represented.



These leaflets are just very boring and take an extremely dry and medical approach to the subject. I know they are medical texts so a certain degree of wordiness must be used. But they could have put some effort into not making it the most depressing thing to read ever.





Things to learn from for my book:
No red
Not too many words
Just the basics that are needed
No photos of sad faces
No head in hands
Use colour, make it look good
