March 24, 2016: Article Review

More than Your Mind by the Mental Health Group

Summary:
I looked at the content of the website. There is a really good video that shows the experience of a girl named Megan and how depression has affected her. I really liked the video. It was really well done visually. I can tell that they were good with the video. As for the blogs and content. I found it harder to read those because there weren't very many visual breaks in one of the articles. The other one about food is better and easier to read, so I liked that one better. Some of the quotes are even hard to read because of the contrast of colors, but I really do like the quotes they used. I also like their contact page where you can message them stories. I think that is a really good idea and a way for more people to interact with them. 
Overall the video was the strongest thing, but the website as a whole wasn't very consistent and visually appealing. However, I still think it is great content!

Applications:
I like the video because it is relatable. I also like how at the end of the video they used the caption "More than your mind." It goes great along with there message and kind of ties things in together. With the narrative that they had, I can be aware of situations of others around me, as well as know how to deal with my own struggles. I also can refer back to their website if I want to know what food I should eat if I feel anxious. I also would like to share my own story on their blog. 
Also by analyzing their webpage I can see what works and what doesn't work for my own content. I can use there video as an example of a good video.
