This is currently a WIP, I am curating a collection of personal findings, ephemera and books of personal significance to me. Not my own work, but defying my design approaches.

Instead of bonding over it, however, it was a taboo that drove us apart. Menstruation, though a shared and natural experience, was rarely discussed openly, leading to feelings of shame or embarrassment. Rather than fostering a sense of connection and mutual support, the topic was often avoided, creating a large divide among us as we all avoided sharing our experiences with one another about this life-changing topic.
The project’s objectives are to help menstruating individuals understand their menstrual cycle in relation to others, improving communication skills; to support them in using their cycle as a tool for managing productivity, emotions, and social interactions; and to emphasise that the menstrual cycle affects both physical and mental well-being beyond just the days of menstruation. These goals aim to foster a deeper understanding and promote more open discussions about the impact of menstrual cycle.
It was vital that I had to use the colour red within my branding, to show authentic connections between blood and menstruating. Education in my project is a key aspect in helping people take control of their cycle, and the use of simple icon imagery in my project aids the type in bringing a new form of visibility.
It was also important to shy away from the concealment and censorship of menstruation, which is a direct result of patriarchal publishing, which I dismantled in my critical dissertation during my final year of study at Central Saint Martins.
