After we had our results, we decided motivational phrases would be good place to start. I found a few online, the good thing with these; they weren't specific to a particular flaw, but to life in general:

• Health is not value'd till sickness comes
• Attention to health is lifes greatest hinderence
• There are no shortcuts to any place worth going
• Nothing will work unless you do

I started designing some hand drawn, motivational typography posters:

As a group we decided it would be a good idea to come up with motivational packs, as from the research done, we found the main catergoies were, to learn a new language, to eat healthier and to get fit.

Healthy eating pack could consist of:

• Recipes (cheap, think target audience)
• Meal plans
• Benifits
• stats about unhealthy food

Fitness pack could include:

• Map of gyms, leisure centres
• Price guides on places
• Fitness plan

Learn a new language pack could consist of:

• Stickers of specific language to stick on objects around home
• Poster 

We each decided to go away, each with a specific area to design a poster for. Mine being language. We decided on posters for now, as we weren't too sure how the packs would work.
