Elena's design for visual cards for infants is informed by extensive research into early visual development, focusing on how babies perceive depth, shapes, and patterns. These principles emphasize the importance of visual perception before language use. She uses her findings to create engaging materials for early childhood, culminating in a personal experience where she observed her own son exploring these visuals. The project aims to foster meaningful interactions between parents and infants, encouraging early exploration and connection through play.
I studied the key visual abilities that begin to emerge in the first six months of life and used them as the foundation for the design system.
These four pillars of the series weren't abstract themes, they emerged from that research as essential stages of how the visual brain begins to form.
It's been the most heartwarming part of the process; I watched with amazement as he focused on the patterns, followed them with his eyes.
It felt like real communication, before words; that's why I decided to share the cards with other parents.
