Warning memory game

Warning is a memory game based upon the warning sings from the tank manual. All of these should inform people, who operate machinery, about danger they are exposed to during their work. I became intrigued by the visual language that is used for these icons and the meaning they represent. When I came across these manuals, I first thought about the possible amount of dangerous situations these people could be in, but secondly this simplicity of representation triggered my attention. I think, in a way, this project directed my interest towards visual literacy. I was looking for a way to bring these icons out of their context and ask different questions about dangerous work fields.
These manuals are thick books full of descriptions, diagrams and measurements, so it made me think of the memory as an important factor to be able to function well at work. I took these pictograms and used them to create a memory game, so I was able to combine playfulness (also related to the visual language of the cards) with more serious topics, like work conditions, warfare and the human factor in the politics. You can look at the demonstration video to see how the game works.
