Aims: A 10-month project funded by the NewMind network sought to develop the specification of a visualisation toolbox that could be applied on digital platforms (web- or app-based) to support adults with lived experience of mental health difficulties to present and track their personal wellbeing in a multi-media format. Methods: A participant co-design methodology, Double Diamond from the Design Council (Great Britain), was used consisting of four phases: Discover – a set of literature and app searches of wellbeing and health visualisation material; Define – an initial workshop with participants with lived experience of mental health problems to discuss wellbeing and visualisation techniques and to share personal visualisations; Develop – a second workshop to add detail to personal visualisations, for example, forms of media to be employed, degree of control over sharing; and Deliver – to disseminate the learning from the exercise. Results: Two design workshops were held in December 2017 and April 2018 with 13 and 12 experts-by-experience involved, respectively, including two peer researchers (co-authors) and two individual-carer dyads in each workshop, with over 50% of those being present in both workshops. A total of 20 detailed visualisations were produced, the majority focusing on highly personal and detailed presentations of wellbeing. Discussion: While participants concurred on a range of typical dimensions of wellbeing, the individual visualisations generated were in contrast to the techniques currently employed by existing digital wellbeing apps and there was a great diversity in preference for different visualisation types. Participants considered personal visualisations to be useful as self-administered interventions or as a step towards seeking help, as well as being tools for self-appraisal. Conclusion: The results suggest that an authoring approach using existing apps may provide the high degree of flexibility required. Training on such tools, delivered via a module on a recovery college course, could be offered.

“…Thus, as indicated in TABLE II, with different parameters, a single element such as the Archimedean Spiral or Trapezium could suggest a wide range of possible expressions as listed. Regarding the semantics of lines and shapes, many results and findings done by researchers such as the study of lines by Ibáñez and Delgado-Mata [40] and the study on shape by Blazhenkova and Kumar [41] can be adapted to guide the parametric settings of the MPM for signifying the intended expressions.…”

Visual communication design involved with two aspects of visual representation, namely, information and expression. The idea of building a computational model for visual communication design has been developed for many years. However, this objective has only been partially fulfilled as most of the solutions are focused on showing information rather than expression. Lakoff and Johnson have claimed that "human thought processes are largely metaphorical." Thus, a computational model for visual communication based on the concept of conceptual metaphor is proposed. As brand mark design is considered as a challenging design type that demands the representation of both information and expression, the first attempt of the development of this new model is targeted for this specific type of design. In this paper, the Metaphorical Parametric Model (MPM) is proposed as a computational model to represent brand mark design. The MPM is a type of model which represents the semantic structure rather than the synthetic structure of conceptual components. The components of an MPM is assembled based on the concepts of metaphorical relations which could be signified by spatial relations between the related objects. All objects and relations defined in the MPM are parametrically controllable which could be generated as different visual forms to represent both information and a wide range of metaphorical expressions. Keywords -visual language; visual communication design; conceptual metaphor; metaphorical expression;According to these authors, conceptual metaphors are different from the linguistic ones but specific cognitive concepts embedded in our bodily experience. By learning from the interactions with the environment, infant gains experience which structures the mind and formulates the "image schema". Johnson [19] explained that the image schema is not an abstract, finite proposition, concept or concrete image but an evolving By changing the relations between the elements using Right Of, Part Of, Overlap and Top Of instead of Inside. The semantic meaning will change and signify different metaphorical expressions.

“…Regarding the semantics of lines and shapes, findings done by researchers such as the studies of lines by Ibáñez and Delgado-Mata [54] and the studies on shape by Blazhenkova and Kumar [55] could provide guiding principles to set the parametric settings of the MPM for signifying the intended expressions. Thus, as indicated in Table 6, with different parameters, a single element such as the Archimedean Spiral or Trapezium could suggest a multitude of expressions as listed.…”
