Independent Project
This project aimed to find ways of alleviating back pain in university students. Through my research, I discovered that university students commonly suffer from acute back pain due to academic stress, poor posture, and general immobility. I wanted to create a solution that was visually appealing, easy to understand, and encouraged interaction with a custom-made card deck. The card deck features general wellness activities and exercises that can be performed easily to improve quality of life.

My final solution takes the form of a custom-designed 54-pack of playing cards. It can be used as a regular pack of playing cards for everyday play. Students are encouraged to also take part in the activities listed on the cards during their games, such as high knees or squats.
