The Child Lives On

We are the link between the past and the future.

The Ideas Behind The Concept

The concept represents our inner child that lives on with us as adults. It has a personal touch and reminds us to be compassionate to ourselves and others, but remains competent and professional.

Friendly, child-like touches bring a personal element to the concept.

Different typefaces are used depending on the purpose. Reading, requires concentration and we want readers to be able to focus on your words. Browsing interfaces requires clean, easy to find text.

Family is Everything

A strong focus of this concept is family. It recognizes that family is the link between the past and the future. Reconnecting with lost family gives us the chance to discover our past, present and future.

I came to realize that even though I was abandoned, I am still loved by so many people around me.

The photography in this concept is bright, clear, and modern, and positive.

Portraying the Message Visually

Photography is used to represent comfort, support, and a happy, helpful, perspective. Photos are people-oriented, bright, clean, modern, and positive. They are properly white-balanced and not heavily stylized.

Concept Typefaces

Nunito Sans

Nunito is a well balanced sans serif typeface superfamily, with 2 versions: The project began with Nunito, created by Vernon Adams as a rounded terminal sans serif for display typography. Jacques Le Bailly extended it to a full set of weights, and an accompanying regular non-rounded terminal version, Nunito Sans.

Roboto

Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.

Lora

Lora is a well-balanced contemporary serif with roots in calligraphy. It is a text typeface with moderate contrast well suited for body text. A paragraph set in Lora will make a memorable appearance because of its brushed curves in contrast with driving serifs. The overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story or an art essay.

Annie Use Your Telescope

Designed by Kimberly Geswein, she says this about the font “This is a favorite of mine. A talented photography student I know was writing something down and I squealed and ran over to beg her for a sample of her writing. It was worth the effort, as I adore her style and feel it translated perfectly into a cute font. She named the font as a nod to one of her favorite bands, Jack’s Mannequin.”

Portraying the message visually

Photos focus on nature and lived experience. They are fully-saturated to match the vibrance of life. Edges are very slightly rounded, but still crisp, denoting sharpness of those experiences that makes us rounded.

 

I know what adoption trauma feels like

This concept is inspired by understanding through lived-experiences. Not everyone knows the difficulties of adoptees, but this concept aims to relate, while remaining light-hearted and professional.
