Headspace: Legacy Map

Project Goal The goal of this project was to create a legacy map that explores the evolution of the meditation app Headspace, tracing its historical, social, and cultural influences. Experience To develop the legacy map, I conducted extensive research into the history of meditation practices, the rise of mindfulness, and the technological developments that influenced the creation of Headspace. This involved synthesizing diverse sources and perspectives, including historical texts, cultural practices, and modern technological advancements. I used collage techniques to visually represent these connections, creating a dynamic and engaging layout that emphasizes the interconnectedness of innovation and context. Outcome The final legacy map successfully illustrated the complex interplay between cultural, social, and technological influences on the evolution of Headspace. Viewers could see how historical practices informed modern app design and how the app, in turn, contributes to contemporary discussions on mental health and mindfulness.
