Recently, a pre-production to a project based on racism has been in the works. The project itself was something I have been wanting to do for quite a long time now, but it has only been recent, where it started to be conceived on paper and in my head.
The reason I mention this is because I have long been wanting to intersect social problems and psychological science with my design work for quite sometime. I been notoriously infamous for executing projects based on my personal experiences and my personal psyche, but I have always thought that it is important to fuel that creative energy to execute something that communicates to the world about human rights and political problems that we face today.
Outside of the recent events in Japan, there has also been a number of issues going on in the United States alone, where a small little problem turned into a big problem via social media.

There was an interesting discovery by scientists Minneapolis VA Medical Center, where they have discovered that brain activity monitoring through scans can actually physically see PTSD in a visual form.This is quite interesting because it always adds argument to the famous Nurture versus Nature theory in Psychology. It would be quite interesting to see if brain activity gets altered for artists and designers when they are at its most creative peak. I also want to know why certain individuals are highly motivated during the evening than they are during the day. I really wished I had the highest motivations during the day at a studio, cause it really is not quite the same during the day than is during the evening when I am working on freelance work.
Check out the article.
