Boon’s Big Adventure
In this book we follow Boon the Bunny as he loses his colorblind glasses. He goes on a great adventure to get them back and learns to love himself with the help of his friends.
This book helps to normalize colorblindness and glasses as tools for young children.
Branding
Inspired by the storybook characters, this branding was created specifically with a high-contrast color palette that is easily differentiated in standard and deficient color vision.
The Boon Experience
Sign-in and get ready to have fun! Children can grab a snack and their colorblind glasses and wait as they begin working to boost the contrast in color you can see. After 15 minutes, make your way over to the library and let your eyes be opened to the world of color at your fingertips!

Project Background
why colorblindness? :
isolation to imagination
Children are often diagnosed with colorblindness around ages 4-8. As these children often feel isolated from their peers, our goal was to create an experience that takes advantage of colorblind glasses in a setting designed to educate and bring children together.
While these glasses will not cure colorblindness, they aid in creating contrast between colors, allowing for a perceived change in color after 15–30 minutes of wear.
Competitor Analysis & Moodboard
To create the Boon experience we took what worked and discarded what didn't from our competitor analysis. This along with our moodboard inspired us to go big on colorful and interactive design.Environment Ideation
In collaboration with my team, we created sketches for what the Boon building would look like, following the plot of the book itself as you walk through the building.Illustration
As my first expansive illustration project I did everything from character illustration ideas to thumbnails, value blocking, polished sketches, and coloring.
