London-based branding studio Nalla has developed a mental health resource database for creatives called MindFull.
It has been launched today on “Blue Monday” – the day of the year that is supposedly the “most depressing”. The concept was first published in a 2005 press release from UK travel company Sky Travel, and takes into account bad weather, long nights, and the financial and health-related after effects of the festive season.
Blue Monday falling within a nation-wide lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2021 is likely to add further strain. And for designers and other creatives, it comes after a year of turbulence within the industry. With this in mind, the Nalla team created MindFull to help their peers “feel a little less blue”.

As if we needed any more reason to ruminate over pandemic
life’s daily plights, today (January 18) is Blue Monday the third Monday of January, which is rumored to be the most depressing day of the year.
But is it?
Research hasn’t proved that there is any one day more depressing than all the others, but it’s actually a PR stunt that has unfortunately
cemented itself into modern culture. Every January now, blogs share their tips for how people can save themselves from the gloom, companies jump at the chance to promote their feel-good products and services,
and social media follow suit.
