Microproject 5









My friends always make fun of me for having way too many cards for various things in my wallet.  My wallet is usually pretty fat haha.  But whenever I look at them, I can justify keeping all of them.  Most of them are frequent user cards for food or grocery establishments and art supplies stores where I buy things for my architecture classes. The top image shows them all laid out.  The next image shows them all in a stack.  While I do not actually keep all of them in my wallet at once, when they are all stacked up they measure almost 1". 
That does seem to be way too much to be carrying around my back pocket.

So in order to apply my assigned actions of: to collect or to simplify, I would love to smash or squash or the cards in my wallet down.  Essentially this would simplify the process of searching through my wallet for the card I need and to collect them all into once spot.  The last image shows my idea for a card in the future that, similar to a driver's license, shows your face, but instead of showing identification info, all of my cards are displayed to define who I am.  In a way this is more descriptive of my life than listing off my height, weight, eye color, etc. like a normal license or identification card.  The last image shows the cards I probably use most often, simplifying the number of cards I have as well.
