OUGD505 - Product, Range and Distribution: Idea Generation

Since the target audience would be for people aged 10-15 year olds, it would be beneficial to create a something engaging enough inform youngsters about mental health and learning the symptoms. This would be distributed to primary and secondary schools. Since mental health well-being isn't compulsory in schools, it would be better to at least have a who school assembly/class assembly in which children can be taught all together about mental health well-being and at the end, will be given an activity to do or leaflet/information card for more information or so that they can acknowledge it.

Design ideas
The idea is to create something fun since it has to be engaging so that a child would be fascinated by it.

The first idea would be a create a A1 velcro learning board about mental health well-being for schools which allows children to participate in sticking and understanding how mental health is important is and how to identify how they are feeling.



The second idea is to create some cards so that children can work together in a group to try rate how important a symptom is and decide if it should be spoken to a close family member about.



The final design would be to create a pull-out type of leaflet/information card as it would be fun for younger children to play with but also be interested enough to find out hat it is to be about. The design would hopefully make the child want to keep it and show to others as it would look 'cool'. The idea would be to create a mouth as though it is talking when the tab is pulled to show the motion of taking to someone. The leaflet/information card can also be distributed in places such as Scouts, book shops, museums, theme parks, garden centres, a medical practice and other places children like to go to.
