Design e saúde mental: proposta de jogo de cartas para amenizar a ansiedade no dia a dia dos universitários

Abstract

This project aimed to develop a product that helps ease anxiety in the daily lives of college students. The idea of working with the theme anxiety came from reading Augusto Cury's book, Anxiety: How to Face the Evil of the Century: The Accelerated Thinking Syndrome, How and Why Humanity Collectively Sicked From Children to Adults (CURY, 2015 ), and also through the experiences in the university life. For the accomplishment of this work, it was used knowledge acquired during the Design course, specifically, it was used the product design methodology, with the systematic use of tools to collect data and conceive ideas. Thinking of something practical that could be developed to help the university audience, came the idea of developing a card game, because it is something easy to transport and one of the favorite pastimes of most college students.
