Using the K10 scale which would be reported every evening over the seven day period. I decided on the K10 scale after discussion with a clinical psychologist on the best method for such a short period (I have attached a pdf by the Black Dog Institute for your reference). The responses are scaled from 1-5, so the maximum score is 50 indicating severe distress, the minimum score is 10 indicating no distress. I can then visualise this as a scale for each participant over the 7 days. I was first just going to do myself, but I thought adding the extra people would give me more data to use and it also relates back to my honours proposal (and my project in illustrated features which is animating 4 LGBTIQ+ young peoples fears) so I could use it for my academic CV. I would visualise this first in a online scale, then I wanted to create a physical piece. I have a few brainstormy ideas about the physical piece, but I wasn’t sure if this idea would even work in general. One idea was inspired by looking at self-care methods for distress, one of which is painting and art pieces. Creating a painting split into 49 squares (7 participants x 7 final scores) in 7 rows for the rainbow flag. Then translating the score into percentages of tinting or shading of paint colour (low score of 10 being 100% white and high score of 50 being 100% bold colour). I don’t know if that makes enough sense? But I could have a reference explanation along with the painting.
