cadavre exquis magnets
Initially submitted as a design for Texas Children's Hospital, intended to be used in waiting rooms at TCH to entertain patients. The concept of the set was based on the surrealist technique "cadavre exquis", or exquisite corpse, in which players draw in turn on a sheet of paper the head, body, and feet of a creature. The design was further conceptualized for my portfolio by creating a "brand" and packaging designed to market the magnets.
