My first question that I asked was in regards to what colours were found most calming, I thought this made sense as it gave me insight into possible colours to use for my product, I felt calming had the right tone as not only did it bring the positivity of happiness but also has that stability that is important for mental health. As we can see, blue was the most chosen answer, by quite a large margin, I must say. The two that followed most behind was white and green, with black being the least chosen colour. I have kept this in mind by deciding that the main colours I should have for my product are blue and white, these colours blend togetheer quite well, and are quite symbolic of the sky and clouds or the sky and doves, overall these are well known to be quite calming sights as a whole and I think a good choice from the evidence shown to support it.
The next question I asked was in relation to Covid 19 and its negative effects on mental health, I did this as to gather the significance it has had on my target audience whilst also taking into account modern times and relevant occurrences, rather than mental health exclusively. As we can see, the majority answered that they did think Covid 19 had negatively effected their mental health, which shows the importance of mentioning it within my advert as to help people feel more connected to it and the relevancy to themselves and therefore something I should definitely make mention of. 
Another thing to expand from my previous question was asking those who said yes or unsure to explain how it effected them. I did this in order to get a clearer perspective of the problems young people had been facing as a result of Covid 19 and how it has effected their mental health, similar to last question, it helped me gather an idea of some possible things to aim my advert towards in terms of mental health and the importance of maintaining it is, despite these times.
I then asked if they thought information about smiling and mental health would be helpful for people, to which all agreed, this gave me a definite reason as to why is should be included within my product, as not only did it help spread the Happy Foundation's message of smiling and overall positivity but it also makes it aware the seriousness of mental health and how smiling can improve it in many factors.
I then proceeded to ask for my final question if animals such as cats or dogs made them happy, I did this specifically to relate to the client's brief and create something people could smile at. I wanted to make sure that from the evidence I could gather if it were a good idea to include an animal within my advert in order to create more happiness and joy to be spread, from this data we can conclude that the majority say that yes, they do indeed make them happy, with only one person saying no, this definitely helps shape my idea and allow me to see that is of my best decision to include an animal within my advert as it seems to be a smart idea that appeals to both the target audience along with the client as a result of this.
Overall. I find that the evidence provided by this survey has been very beneficial in giving me a good idea of what to include within my product, numerous things such as colour scheme, along with information and other visual components. I am happy to have so much information to work with so that I can provide a high quality product that lives up to the information provided.
