Deck of Cards
Systems
Based on the archetype of “hero” or “villain”, a character was picked to research and explore deeply. An appropriate character seen as the “villain” would be a pair, and that would be Bonnie and Clyde.
The Surrealist Game used to generate content was developed by Philippe Audouin and utilizes the literary device of analogous thinking. The idea is that if two or more things are similar in some aspects, they are most likely similar in some further respect. The design focuses on connecting both lives through imagery and creating a collage as a whole. When viewing the deck of cards together, the viewer should learn insights about Bonnie and Clyde as individuals and as an entity.
Inspiration was drawn from the juxtaposition of the similarities and differences of both Bonnie and Clyde. Two different individuals that grew up differently and come together and find a similar fate. Bonnie had this emotional hunger and crave for love, while Clyde offered that in toxic ways.
This project pressed the importance of continuity in a system and visual metaphors in communication.
