503 - Papyrus Brief - Intro

Before beginning my research into the company itself and design process, I made sure I was aware of all the detailings included within the brief. 
- Papyrus are a national charity for the prevention of suicide in young people.

- They discuss how people can deal with stress in better ways than others, and actually how it is a leading cause of mental health problems.

- Papyrus have identified that through colouring, stress and anxieties can be massively relieved and can prevent build ups leading to bigger problems later on. "It calms the mind and allows people to unwind and relax"
(so what is it in-particular which triggers this relaxation?)

- So the aim is to publish an adult colouring book called 'The Art of a Peaceful Mind' - so I have to create a visual representation of something that helps me to feel calm and relaxed (in an adult-appropriate line drawing style), with a couple of lines referencing my idea.

They provide a basic example, and stress how they will only accept 
- A3 landscape 
- space for the explanation
- Either a 0.3mm fine liner or 3px brush size
- .Ai format













Suicide is the biggest killer of young people – male and female – under 35 in the UK. In 2015, 1,659 young people took their own lives. That equates to over four per day. Every year many thousands more attempt or contemplate suicide, harm themselves or suffer alone, afraid to speak openly about how they are feeling.

PAPYRUS are the national charity for the prevention of young suicide.

They draw from the experience of many who have been touched personally by young suicide across the UK and speak on their behalf in their campaigns and in their endeavours to save young lives. They believe that with appropriate support and education, many young suicides can be prevented.

They deliver awareness and prevention training, provide confidential support and suicide intervention through HOPELineUK, campaign and influence national policy, and empower young people to lead suicide prevention activities in their own communities.
