The Switch
DIY paper fidget design for kids with ADD. 3d paper model design + illustrations + booklet layout design.
If you know what it's like to have difficulties in sustaining attention or following instructions... When your thoughts are skipping from one to another within a matter of seconds... Then you know what ADD is. And you probably know it requires significant effort to keep your thoughts on track.
There are tools that help to focus your mind. Those tools are called fidgets. Unfortunately, fidgets are mostly plastic. We (my friend Vivi and I) decided to change that.
After creating 5 different types of fidgets, one finally worked. THE SWITCH - a paper fidget. To have it, you need to build it using the parts included in THE SWITCH booklet. The process of DIY building THE SWITCH is part of the adventure.
After user tests, conducted by Vivi and our friend Tomek, we know we need to simplify the DIY building process. All the rest of conditions; enjoyable, focus giving, easy to use (after building it), recyclable, 100% environment friendly, are fulfilled.
PS. Vivi and Tomek didn't want to show their full names, I have to respect that. But to play fair, I also have to specify that I didn't design The Switch only by myself. Thank you, Vivi and thank you, Tomek.
