WHY?
As the oldest in my family, I saw how screens affected my younger cousins and created family tensions. This wasn’t an issue in my childhood, so I started questioning the impact of screens on child development. Concerned about this and passionate about digital design, I wanted to explore how design can help children aged 0 to 6, who are vulnerable to excessive screen time.
HOW?
I interviewed 21 parents of children aged 0 to 6 to understand how digital technology impacts their daily lives and the tensions around screen use. My focus was on how technology fits into the home and how parents balance screen time with their children's motor and social development.
WHAT?
My thesis explores screenless digital devices and their effects on young children’s motor and social development. I suggest that these devices can lessen the negative effects of screens by encouraging interaction and movement. By emphasizing parental involvement, my project offers alternatives to traditional digital tools, enhancing the parent-child experience at home.
The GOAL
With 9 students in our master's program, each with a distinct thesis topic, the goal was to create a cohesive editorial design that reflects our collective work and the program itself. The aim was to print our theses in a physical format and publish a website showcasing our theses in a digital version.
The challenge
We had 3 distinct groups: graphic design & editorial, web design & development (which I was part of), and printing. The challenge was working as a true team—aligning with each group, coordinating, communicating, and adapting to move the project forward.
DESIGN TASKS
Develop a strong graphic identity and book design
Create a logo, visual identity, and editorial layout for the book. Ensure a cohesive design for the cover and interior pages, delivering print-ready files with proper prepress preparation.
Design and develop a digital platform
Craft a UX/UI design for the website that aligns with the book’s visual identity. Integrate interactive features and ensure consistency between print and digital media.
Manage production and coordinate with stakeholders
Oversee print production, collaborate with printers, ensure compliance with technical and regulatory standards, and manage project execution from concept to final delivery.
