Heart Shaped Rocks Interactive CD-ROM

An educational CD-ROM developed to attempt to demystify organ donation and transplantation, and educate people on this rapidly advancing medical technology. The hope of this project was to increase awareness so that more people will make a choice to donate their organs, and talk to their family members about their decision.

The CD-ROM includes the history and facts of organ donation and transplantation, associated myths, digitized video interviews with heart transplant survivors, stories from organ recipients.

The CD also chronicles, via a very personal journal, one heart recipient's caregiver as she stumbles through the difficult process of transplantation.

The conceptual design for this project was based on nature and the natural geologic process that occurs when mountains erode into rocks, then into magma burning in the center of the earth, and rise again as mountains.

People no longer own, or need, their physical bodies and their organs once they're gone. They belong to nature, and organ donation makes sense.
