THESIS EXHIBITION

Monster medic

Julia presents her children's pharmaceutical brand, Monster Medic, as a more engaging alternative to current pediatric medicinal products. Gone are the bland color schemes, clinical aesthetics, and confusing medical jargon. Monster Medic adorns pharmacy aisles with expressive characters, bright colors, and immersive packaging. The packaging includes simpler language, allowing children to understand the medicine and how it works, ultimately giving them more agency in their health. This exhibition showcases a whimsical approach to medicinal packaging that's not often seen on the shelves of CVS or Walgreens.
