Welcome to the Burnout Unit!

The Burnout Unit was created in an effort to soothe the rapidly growing issue that is burnout. The main focus of project is a deck of 15 cards with unique, crowd-sourced solution to burnout on the backside. Each deck is housed in a matchbox inspired package and includes an introduction to the project itself. The Burnout Unit also manifests in supplemental objects adorned with BOU branding that encourage play and rest. 


This project was originally created for Melissa Weiss’ Designer Citizen course at SAIC.
