Relationship between creativity and mental illness

As I approached the conclusion of my Bachelor of Arts (BA Hons) degree, one of the academic requirements was to complete a dissertation focused on a topic within the creative industry. I made the deliberate choice to investigate the interplay between creativity and mental health, with a particular focus on schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.

When designing this project, I opted for a gentle and soothing colour palette to create a sense of tranquility for the reader, recognising that the content delved into sensitive subjects. I incorporated shades of green, which is symbolically associated with mental health awareness.
