Abstract: | This dissertation explores the vivid outcome of the interaction between ultraviolet and fluorescents to help ease fear of darkness in children. This study aims is to make use of powerful visual elements such as colour and illustration and enhance their impact with ultraviolet light. In-depth interviews and questionnaires were conducted as part of the research methodology in order to gain alternate perspectives of the subjects at hand. The participants and interviewees were chosen based on their level of profession and knowledge within the topic. The collected results were deeply analysed, reviewed and coded using different analysis techniques. The final project was carried out on a basis of the knowledge and findings that emerged from the research. In conclusion, the study expanded on the interaction between light, colour and illustration, both as tools of communication as well as artistic media. During the design process, it was kept in mind at all times that the aim of this dissertation is to serve as a form of therapy for children who are afraid of the dark. The practical project was then deeply analysed to point out strength and weaknesses as well as bring out suggestions for further studies. |
