Bunny’s Burrow is an app being produced by developer Jed Merrington with the aim to close the gender learning gap at Key Stage 2. I designed the lead Bunny character and produced 22 illustrations showing his full range of moods and emotions, and the character partaking in several activities. These will be shown as static images or lightly animated within the app.
The designs are specifically aimed to encourage boys, with dyslexia and other learning disabilities to engage with short narrative story creation using the app with a phone or tablet. The illustrations being full vector based and editable by the app developers was an important aspect of the brief, as was consistency of the character design.
Literacy, dyslexia support and encouraging children to engage with creative writing and creating stories is something really close to my heart, I was thrilled to work on this project.
