Body Talk
A community-driven platform for mental health, body image, and the conversations people usually avoid — designed as a safe, inclusive space to learn, share, and grow.
Project overview
Body Talk is a community-driven platform focused on mental health, body image, and open conversations around topics often considered sensitive or stigmatised. The website was designed as a safe, inclusive space where users can learn, share, and grow through curated content and community interaction.
Objective
- Create a safe and welcoming digital environment
- Break stigma around mental health and body image
- Encourage open conversations and community participation
- Present content in a calm, editorial-style layout
Editorial aesthetics, community storytelling
People don't open up in a space that feels clinical. The design leaned on emotional connection, readability, and visual warmth so users feel comfortable engaging with sensitive topics.
- Bold, expressive typography to communicate strong messages
- Soft, earthy colour palette to evoke calm and trust
- Large imagery to humanise the content and create emotional resonance
- Clear content sections for conversations, editorials, resources, and zines
Key features highlighted
- Ongoing conversations and discussion topics
- Editorial articles curated around mental health and body image
- Community engagement flow — Connect → Discuss → Create
- Educational resources and digital zines
Outcome
The final design positions Body Talk as a thoughtful, supportive platform that encourages honest conversations while maintaining a strong editorial and community-focused identity.
