Birds of Vancouver—an illustrated series
Birds of Vancouver is a series of books are devoted to Vancouver's 12 common local birds.
My intention was to create an empathy with birds, enable children to explore nature and
involve parents in reading process to provide guidance and comfort in an age of
Nintendos and Playstations, where children lost their connection with nature.
As interaction elements I included maps and possible locations of viewing the birds;
illustrated each species; and designed cards that can be taken out to identify the birds.
Birds of Vancouver won an Applied Arts Magazine Student Award in print category as well as an honorable mention in GDC Salazar Awards, 2010.
