Script for pitch video
There is a consideration of New Zealand Youth's psychological health. New Zealand has the second-highest youth suicide rate in the developed countries. The pressure and stress are multi-directional, such as money, time-management, interrelationship, or the change of environment. The youth from 16-25, are targeted as they are experiencing the transitional stage in their lives. Most of them are University students, who are ready to graduate and face to find "good" jobs. They are anxious and nervous for the final tests or publication. The intense atmosphere and coming of deadline enlarge the psychological pressure. They are not mature enough to deal with the pressures like mature people. Most people are sensitive to let other people know they are mentally sick. Families or friends cannot always accompany with young people. Considering these, I came up with the idea of designing an app that allows young people to relax and calm by themselves. Some apps help users to relax with sound and visuals, but the interface is crowded and overwhelmed. Too much information cannot calm people but cause more anxiety. My solution is an interactive audio-visual app. It embraces the calm computing concept that focuses on the importance of technology without panicking people. Audio and visual interaction is compelling than just sound. I strengthen the relaxation with breath function, Meditation, and audio stories after the researching of calm skills. The app is designed to be minimalistic, with big icons and geometrical shapes. The colors are greyish Morandi colors that comfort eyes. The change between day mode and night mode can satisfy the circumstances and personal preference. The app is novel and competitive as I added on the sound effect to commit with sound, which helps to create a calm environment.
