Description
Have you ever felt so low that you just could not function anymore? Have you ever wondered what in your brain is making you feel so bad? The goal of this book is to show you exactly what in your brain is impacting each of your functions. This book takes you through each lobe and what effect/lacking from having severe depressive episode disorder. In the process of taking my illness profile and making it into an artist book I realized that I had to take in the scoop of my story quite a bit, and really just focus on one detail. I also decided to focus on the absence vs presence of color and its ability to help the reader draw connections. Throughout the process of making this book I have learned a lot about how much every detail has a subconscious impact on the reader. I have never really thought about how a page fold, color choice, or quality of text all impact our impression of a book, but this process has really opened my eyes to that.
