Human Market
Book Design / Packaging Design / Illustration
This work is about organ trafficking, because recently I happened to have seen some cases of child kidnapping that reminded me of the illegal trade in organs. Such kind of things are usually done in the black markets, but of course, there are many cases in other places and countries. In my opinion, organ trafficking has been manipulated just like buying meat at the market, and human organs are simply regarded as an expensive product. Therefore, the main purpose of this work is to let people know that organ trafficking is as ruthless and cold-blooded as shopping the meat at the supermarket.
Packaging
In making this work, I thought of making a book in the style of pop art and satirizing the illegal organ trade in this world. It just so happens that the origin of pop art is also to satirize the greed of society, so I went in this direction. The pop style is usually designed using particularly bright colors, so in order to make a sense of contrast, the book's external box is packaged in black.

The way of expression of the inner pages mainly reflects that nowadays technology has advanced and many people are trading through the dark net. Therefore, the inside pages have the style of computer operation, which is also more in line with the life of people nowadays. The contents of the book are mainly: the introduction of the organ trade, some special events, and then the price list of organs that many people care about. In addition, the book also uses pop and comic style to show the process of organ trading, so that people know what the general process is like.

Other Products
Besides the book, I’ve designed other products including coupons, pamphlets, handouts, membership cards. To elaborate, I incorporated these organ products with the idea of “everyday grocery shopping” by putting a discount on these products.The idea of a membership card and points collecting service are also ironic. By connecting the two ideas of organs and grocery shopping, I hope for my audience to understand buying an organ is as casual as buying groceries in the market today.
