Emotions Kit

in collaboration with

What I learned 

      Brainstorming together > brainstorming alone

see Process

This set of 4 short interactive books help the user work through emotions we have all felt but may not have the words to define. Aimed at young adults and teenagers, each book walks through a selection of distinct emotions through interactive activities such as writing and drawing prompts, inserts and transparent overlays, and scratch-off components.

✦✦✦

Each book represents one of 4 core emotions (anger, sadness, fear, and joy) and contains color gradients to create smooth transitions from one emotion to the other. The kit also comes with a disappearing ink pen, a penny, and a red transparency card — all packaged in plastic, with the first prompt asking the user to rip the kit open, kickstarting the emotional journey.

The pages include scanned highlights, notebook paper, and red pen marks, all aimed to convey that these books are theirs to freely interact with.
