OCD Box and
Animation
Photoshop | Origami | After Effects
SELF-INITIATED BRIEF:
To raise awareness about OCD and help gain recognition of OCD as a mental health disorder.
KEY INSIGHTS:
One of the main challenges faced by people living with OCD is the social misconception surrounding the disorder.
Many believe that OCD is merely being clean and tidy and it has almost become a form of ‘slang’ that people use to refer to cleanliness. This misconception means that OCD is not regarded with the same severity as other mental health disorders.
OUTCOME:
An OCD Box to educate people about what obsessions and compulsions can be like to live with.
On each side of the box, there is a different interactive compulsion: a lock, numbers, a brain, hands, a tap, and a light (all made using paper and origami).
Each compulsion opens to reveal an obsessive quote from a person living with OCD. From the outside, the compulsions look like a game, but once open, the obsessive quotes show how serious OCD truly is.
This was later adapted into an animation to increase awareness online.
