After this tutorial I felt relaxed and happy, I was stucked for a long time in my project, it seemed like I was trying hard to look for an access or a entrance in order to come into a new space, but I couldn't find it, it really made me frustrated. But today I got two clear accesses to go through, one is nonverbal communication, another one is critical design. As Mike and I talked about the problems I found, he suggested me to think about nonverbal communication, this is as same as what I thought about. But before I was not sure what sort of communication system I should do, now I was suggested to do a nonverbal communication around clinical department (counselling, A&E, GPs, mental illness service liaison, etc.) to help identify the high risk issues. And I will research on how nonverbal communication (symbols, objectives) works (based on visual communication/interactive device).
Critical design is another suggestion Mike gave me, and I am really interested in doing it. He reminded me the a chapter in the book 'Need to Know Teenage Suicide', the chapter talks about the role of Media in suicide and also I came to remember a news which report the young girls suicide in a small neighbourhood of a town in Wales. These facts show that Media sometimes is not to be considered as a method which can increase people's awareness on suicide, contrarily, it is a very dangerous medium and sources in suicide. So a critical design which towards the Media issue or other national and public motivations might be designed to start a discussion about the relationship between national suicide prevention strategy and suicide. So I will also do some research on critical design, because for me this is a new conception even I have taken a critical design workshop which launched by Graham last semester.
