The art direction for this short film was both exciting and challenging. With four different children narrating, Marita wanted each child's style to reflect how they might draw themselves—immediately capturing their age and personality. The visuals needed to be playful and light while also giving space for the theme of aphasia.

To achieve this, we based our designs on real drawings created by the interviewed children, allowing their unique perspectives to shape the artwork. We also experimented with text and abstract elements to represent aphasia visually. However, balancing creativity with clarity proved tricky, as too many abstract elements made the visuals difficult to read.

In the end, we placed the children in a natural, semi-realistic playground setting—keeping the world familiar and engaging while subtly weaving in the theme of communication challenges.
