To brainstorm for my concept board, I decided on a color palette of neutral greens and earthy browns/oranges. These mellow colors made me feel reflective and relaxed: my main goals for this extended break and stay at home. To accentuate this, I added some green lights and lights to bring out this feeling of calm.
The first visual that came to me was nature and sunlight. Being fully inside all the time has always dampened my mood and lessened my productivity, so having natural light and plants where I spend my time is important. I chose to include a sunset, a trail and some indoor plants to keep this idea in play.
Second, I focused on hobbies that I want to bring back into my life. I used to play guitar, but it has been collecting dust since I have been at school. I also used to workout quite often, but have slackened off in the past months. Finally, I included a journal to represent the empty journal I bought a month ago that still has yet to be written in. I never made time for hobbies at school because of how busy I was, but with this free time they can be revived.
Last, I included some depictions of improving my health. I rarely get enough sleep, so this is an opportunity for me to catch up and regulate my sleep schedule to be a healthier one. The image of the face mask represents my goal to take time to take care of myself as well. One of my biggest sources of stress is having a messy room/workplace, but I rarely have the willpower to clean it up so I can be more productive. The image of organized drawers represents my desire to learn to be more clear headed and organized.
