COP3: Practical- Promotional Emails

• I think the emails would be most appropriate coming from the Student's Union because their emails are always incredibly friendly and are to benefit students
• The email should have a friendly and approachable tone
• Clearly state what the space is and why it is being created
• Ask if any students wish to submit any artwork that would be considered to put up around the space
• Ensure the students understand the artwork should evoke feelings of relaxation and mindfulness
• The email could include the infographics poster so students are aware of the design elements and can implement them into the artwork.

What the email should include:

• What mindfulness is and why its important to design (art students)
• What the space is
• Why its beneficial
• Encouragement to put forward artwork that students feel create a mindful and relaxed environment 

Reference back to research found through the Mindfulness Design Company that I talked about within my essay because they have a real focus on how practicing in this mindful way can help with design- this will appeal to the students also.

As the space I created will be within Leeds Arts University, then it may be key to consider the points made by the Mindfulness Design company and the benefits of being more mindful and how it helps with design.

1. Creativity
2. Focus
3. Perspective and Empathy
4. Reduce stress and improve positivity

Email example:

Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.

Were you aware there has been research carried out by the Mindful Design Company that highlights the benefits of being mindful and how it can help with design.

• It increases your creativity 
• Allows you to focus more
• Reduces stress and improves positivity 
• Creates perspective and empathy

How does having your very own mindful space within Leeds Arts University sound? A unique place where you are encouraged to relax, unwind and switch off your mind for a while. This space is filled with important design elements that all lead to benefiting your mindfulness, it has been created for students so that you have a space away from your studies to minimise your stress levels.

Mindfulness within design has proven benefits and has been thoroughly researched and each space and corner within the room has been carefully designed to be a positive and uplifting space.

If this space sounds like something you would love to use and would like to contribute to, please reply to this email with any artwork you think would thrive within a mindful and relaxing space.

Thank you for your time,

Your mindful space awaits.
