AN ACT OF SELF CARE

An Act of Self-Care includes 16 cards focusing on 4 different types of self-care - physical, mental, social, and spiritual. I represented each form as a character (mascot) which I illustrated in procreate. The back of the box contains an oath that would be signed and the characters inside the box would be treated with care (as people should care for themselves along with their belongings). Targeting young adolescents (Teenage Girls) who want to discover what their needs are and take care of their mental health. With technology and the internet, being more present in our lives, we need to be self-aware, that society sets up unrealistic expectations and it can be toxic. 

                 This project reflects my growth and current experience as a designer. Self-care is a topic I care deeply about as a young adult who is finding balance in their life. As a role model to younger children who are emerging into their teens in my family, I wanted to be able to design that would be appropriate for their age. It is also a project that displays my illustration skills, my ability to set a solid tone, and my passion for self-care.
