"Mindful breathing cards for children" design was made for the "Vaikystės Sodas" kindergarten. Children often experience very strong emotions. These overwhelming emotions are usually difficult to tame, and can make it impossible to reach a state of calmness. Mindful breathing helps achieve relaxation, makes it easier to concentrate and take control over the emotions they experience.
The collection is comprised of 30 hand-illustrated cards, with clear breathing exercise descriptions that help children master this incredibly useful skill that is mindful breathing.
The colour palette is coordinated according to "Vaikystės Sodas" brand colours. Blue and brown tones play a key role in the card designs, while a couple of powerful colour accents keep them playful and engaging. This harmonious tandem emanates peace and calmness.
A clear and clean illustration style was chosen in order for the animals, humans, and objects to be easy recognisable to children. All illustrations are accompanied by a white ghosting effect, in attempt to convey the act of breathing as it is crucial to always keep it in mind during these exercises.
