When music meets Design: Integration of design and music as a creative artistic interactive tool to help people alleviate negative emotions

Abstract

Today, more and more people are experiencing anxiety and depression for a variety of reasons. These issues do not just refer to major psychological or mental illnesses but are negative emotions that most people will encounter and need to address in their daily lives. The question of how to effectively alleviate and enhance people's emotions is one that needs to be considered and is the subject of my research project. The aim of this project is to explore the connection between music and emotions, and through integrating it with design, discover and investigate how to express and display it in a way that can enhance emotions and alleviate negative feelings.

  • In the second phase called "Designing an Atmosphere", I change the genre of music as a way to categorize, started experimenting with several different styles/feels as a way to divide each section, and explored the format of the project. This helped to unify the final form and visual style of the project.
