Schizophrenia

The problem that needed to be resolved in this project was that Schizophrenia is an unknown illness to some. I wanted to make people, but mostly kids, be aware of what it is and how to help with the issue. So I created a deck of cards that were broken down into individual sections. I used the original suites and numbers already associated with cards to help me do so. 
The cards go in great detail about what Schizophrenia is, Symptoms, Causes, Risk Factors, Complications, Treatments, Medications and the side effects, as well as Interventions wither it be as a family or individual help.
The cards I designed are considered to be a large deck size, as they are bigger than normal playing cards. The design is dark, like the unknown disorder, and they look "worn", by using a crumbled paper texture, like the person handling them was in a distressed situation. I created all 54 cards as well as the card box itself. I kept the Hearts and Diamonds cards red, just like in an original deck.
