The biological model of abnormality.

For this page I researched possibilities of what can cause mental illnesses. In the bottom left corner I made a small flip book explaining different ways of how mental illnesses can be caused such as through genetics, brain injuries or infection. 

I then researched how it is possible to obtain schizophrenia through genetics. A diagram is shown underneath the information of how the twin theory is thought out. 

Finally I researched how drugs can effect mental health and how they help cure illnesses such as depression by blocking the re-uptake of serotonin. A diagram of how this works is also show underneath the information. 

I feel this page could be presented in a better standard as this page looks quite boring, but it shows all the information I was planning it to in an interactive way.

creative business cards.

4/5/16

This is a good example of a creative business card based on architecture. It is relevent to the job, displaying buildings, yet is creatively displayed with cut out windows and details. I like that it has a simple colour scheme and the information is neatly displayed with all relevent informaion needed. i would like to try something similar to this fro my own business card. 

I think this is another good example of a creative buisiness card. I like how the card is displayed in a camera format making it obvious that is for a photographer. I think the way the card is designed to make it look like it is taking a photograph is very creative and unique and i would take something similar to this onto my business cards. 

Even though this is a simple example of a business card i like the effect it gives. Instead of it being a plain card i like how texture has been included and this is something i could consider when designing my own cards.
