When we crossed the end of 2020 with the joke of "Please be nice to me in 2020", no one would have thought that 2019 not only left memories, but also left a warning of pain. For example, now, the national pace is almost uniform - we are all going through a long and long "holiday". At this moment, we can't stay out of it, so what can we do? Now, the natural light art study abroad, "my epidemic period diary" public welfare planning, passing on social awareness, using art to cure the psychological epidemic!
We repeatedly ask ourselves, "What can we do at such a moment?" As designers and artists, we are also responsible persons with social awareness at this time. In addition to real and accessible materials, psychological relief can also not be ignored. Maybe we can not pay in the front-line epidemic center, but we can do what we can, Deliver the power we can give.

"My Epidemic Diary" Public Welfare Planning
My Epidemic Diary
Are you in a good mood?
Up to now, the new coronavirus has become a social and worldwide problem that all of us cannot ignore. In this current situation, we may not be able to turn a blind eye to it, let alone stay out of it.
In the face of such a disaster, in addition to the epidemic disease itself, the emotional distress and acute psychological symptoms that accompany it will also follow. "Rebels" and people in the epidemic center are facing life and death and pressure every day, while people in the non epidemic center are not optimistic and can not be ignored. Take SARS as an example. After the outbreak, 29% of the people who were isolated during the outbreak period experienced PTSD symptoms. After the epidemic stabilized, the pessimists and the mentally ill also increased significantly.
Although several psychosocial institutions and organizations released relevant information and content a few days after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, most studies failed to provide a unified "treatment standard" for how to prevent and monitor individual mental state at any time.
Together with 10 creators and survey respondents at home and abroad, we consulted professional psychological guidance, based on the center of psychological epidemic, explored the psychological pain points during the epidemic, and aroused psychological attention after the disaster with illustrations, animations, and multi graphic cartoons.
When we change our perspective, when we are based on social observation and the epidemic itself, the question is no longer "what can we do?", but "what must we do!", in our own way, with our accessible power.
BACKGROUND
In "My Diary of Epidemic Period", "She" is a Xiaobai who just entered the workplace and rented an apartment in harmony with her roommates from other places. Because of the late holiday, she encountered the epidemic again and could not go home for the Spring Festival this year. It may also be the first time in her life that she has spent the New Year alone. The experience is very special, but such a "wonderful" experience, the opportunity is such pain.
Like everyone else, in this month's time, she also experienced the looting of masks, alcohol, and disinfection supplies; Experienced extended and extended holidays; In such a situation, "she" recorded some common psychological problems caused by various external situations and disturbances, as well as various changes in life, in the form of drawing diary. In her self statement and a series of behaviors, we saw the process of her self reconciliation and her thinking and doubts about the development of the epidemic.
To everyone who is experiencing the epidemic
/The epidemic is a bit messy, but we are really together/
This project was initiated and planned by natural light × random creation, and completed in 2 weeks with 10 artists with different styles and creative forms. They are the creators of this "epidemic period diary", but they are also the protagonists of epidemic period diary.
The "she" in the story has no specific name. "I" is you, you are "I", thousands of you and thousands of me. I hope to follow us to read her diary, which can let you remember that life may be full of frustrations, but you have never been lonely. We also hope that this project can add a touch of color to this somewhat bad period in a relaxed and joyful form.
"Anti epidemic" together with artists and professional psychological guidance
/Dig out the psychological metaphor behind the phenomenon and play games with art and epidemic situation/
By virtue of the huge artistic resources and platform reserves of natural light and random creation, we started to invite artists for this project at the end of January, and we invited 10 artists at home and abroad to work together on this project. Among these participants are our art instructors, graduates who are overseas, and our specially invited artists.
During the two weeks of creation, these artists from all over the world overcame the time difference and obstacles online and offline, tracked the news facts, interviewed people from all walks of life and different ages around them, and collected their psychological changes and anxiety focus during this period. And targeted the arrangement and classification, sorted out some characteristics and specific problems, discussed with psychological experts, and found a relatively appropriate self counseling method.
Return to the essence and use socially conscious works to voice
/Create with responsibility and think with social awareness/
Like all the "professions" in the world, artists, as a profession, are often endowed with certain social awareness and social value. For artists themselves, all artistic creations are rich in "expressing their own ideas", but also often have certain social effects. Looking back at every moment in the history of art, some important historical events are often accompanied by the occurrence of "changes" in art.
Just as every college and university does not aim to train students for "graduation", in natural light, our goal of educating students is not only to get an offer, but also to lead students to speak with their own ideas and influence the future with their own creation through valuable guidance. We are eager to cultivate students' independent spirit, which is not only to create a project independently, but also to have the consciousness of independent thinking; We encourage students to explore new things and creative media, and we do not just require everyone to break the rules, but hope to become the leader of future art creation through exploration and discovery.
In any case, we should understand that as an artist and designer, our work can make a sound and can actually get responses. We also hope that through this project, more people will think about it; It also allows more future art creators to gain a sense of social responsibility.
In addition to donations, we can do a lot
/Unique creative mode, unique and unchanging creative attitude/
As a brand design service company under natural light, Random Creation was founded for the purpose of returning to the essence of design and creating necessity by accident. The creation of random creation is not only to break the barriers of the current design industry, but also to form the only accompanying design service in the industry. At the same time, we hope to innovate the future art education by combining the current advantageous platform, designers and artists resources with the "Young Artists Incubation Plan".
Cooperate with Costa, Sanlian Bookstore, Microsoft, Huawei, Tencent, Tesla and other brands to take young designers as a part of high-quality design cases, so that these future designers can obtain high-quality precipitation from the beginning. Through these experiences, we can open up creative ideas for young designers, inspire deep thinking, and establish correct Creation of art works for studying abroad Awareness and ability development.
As the first project of natural light × random creation in 2020, "My Epidemic Diary", we hope to extend this concept. This is not only a public art project, but also an opportunity to use the strength of artists to give back and serve the society. We may have made donations in this epidemic and are always paying attention to the epidemic, but there is still much we can do.

The epidemic will eventually pass, and our life needs to continue. In the face of the epidemic, we may continue to see more emotions, criticism, doubt, disappointment, anxiety, fear, numbness... In the face of "isolation" and "pain", we are all vulnerable, but at the same time, we also influence each other, which is the original intention of natural light × random creation to launch this project, We are eager to let everyone see the other side of the epidemic. Our psychological system also needs attention and treatment. When we temporarily withdraw from the epidemic, we may have room to really think and cure.
