1 (image 1) What is Menopause? 
   (image 2) The menopause is when a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to     get pregnant naturally 

2 (image 1) What is Peri-menopause? 
   (image 2) the time when the ovaries gradually begin to make less oestrogen 
   (image 3) The average length of perimenopause is 4 years, but for some women this stage         may last only a few months or continue for 10 years. Perimenopause ends when women have     gone 12 months without having their period.

3 (image 1) What is Pre-menopause? 
   (image 2) when you have no symptoms of perimenopause or menopause 
   (image 3) You still have periods — whether they’re regular or irregular — and are                     considered to be in your reproductive years. Some hormonal changes may be occurring,         but there are no noticeable changes in your body.

4 (image 1) What is Early-Menopause? 
   (image 2) Early menopause happens when a woman's periods stop before the age of 45. It     can happen naturally, or as a side effect of some treatments.
   (image 3) This can be from: Ovarian Failure or insufficiency, cancer treatments or surgery       to remove the ovaries

5 (image 1) Early Menopause can be distressing 
   (image 2) Ensure your needs are met by seeking medical advice and contact menopause       support networks 
   (image 3) Daisy Network, healthtalk.org, fertility friends 

6 (image 1) Symptoms are worthy of treatment if they become bothersome
   (image 2) Symptoms Include hot flashes, breast tenderness, worse premenstrual                     syndrome, lower sex drive, fatigue, irregular periods, vaginal dryness; discomfort during         sex, urine leakage, urinary urgency, mood swings, trouble sleeping

FACTS

1 around 13 million women who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK (Wellbeing of Women) – that’s equal to one third of the entire UK female population 

2 Menopausal women are the fasted growing demographic in the workforce (Professor Jo Brewis, co-author Government Report on Menopause). 

3 women now represent nearly half of the UK labour force. 

4 (Image 1) Employers should be providing...
(Following images) 
  • Greater awareness among managers of the menopause as a real occupational health issue
  • Provision of a culture where women feel comfortable about discussing their symptoms and what impact that has on their working lives
  • Options around flexible working hours and working arrangements to help manage symptoms
  • Improved access to support –formal or informal
  • Options to improve your work environment temperature and ventilation

With these and positive posts and quotes all content will: 
> What menopause, perimenopause and perimenopause are 
> Facts about menopause in the workplace
> More sensitive tone posts 
> Positive and celebration tones 
> Inspiring individuals 



> Do these work as GIFS?
> Text isn't readable so quickly, gif function would have to be on just the focus words, perhaps with the quote marks moving rather than the type



> The segmented sections work well in readability and creating powerful pauses between each part of the quote
> The very first post does need to be more reflective of the overall quote however rather than one section 
> Would having all of the text on one image be useful in presenting its full format or would this feel complicated and unnecessary? 


> Video works well in highlighting it as a quote and so is good for main social media page in making it clear which posts are which 

Peer Feedback 
> Gifs are too fast to read but if you wanted to highlight specific words and show it in its full format within the first image, what about highlighting the focal words with colour or like in karaoke the use of shapes 



> Animation of spinning quote marks only works once exported on one of three tests done
> Move to after effects means learning how to make form 3D and give metallic quality 
> Was difficult but gradient mapping could be used on photoshop on exported video from after effects to change the colour for each quote mark 
> Eventually meant more refined animation rather than photoshop version 



> Random words don't really make sense on their own for some posts and it has a lot more impact when the first post is he whole quote (especially as its layout is the most interesting part)
> Following images in post could then be the segmented parts of the quote to help readability 



> Too Abstract in visual representation of migraine 
> More obvious presentation of pain = ! or 


> More reocognisable as symbols for pain 
> Works better as replacements for letter forms 'O'



> Warping of PMS reflecting sense of being squeezed, restricted, uncomfortable, cramping 



> Negative space not consistent, 3D form needed

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

PPP Task 1 Research

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
