Mental Artist Patrick Smith is a British graphic designer and art director. He creates digital graphics and design systems and makes them communicate with audiences on an instant, subliminal level. In 2014 he designed a series of striking posters that depict various mental health conditions in a quirky, minimalist style (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Agoraphobia, Anorexia Nervosa, Depression, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and Narcolepsy).

He came up with these designs in an attempt to explode the stigma surrounding mental illness and raise awareness of the topic. Patrick’s designs have sparked wider debate and been picked up by the largest media outlets in the world, providing a platform for issues that don’t always get a mainstream voice. Mental Ideas is thrilled to have him on board as one of our first showcased Mental Artists!
