Wunschgarten’s method also incorporates a mission of building bridges between remote realities and divided parts of society. The pictures created from the motifs drawn by kids during the workshops are visual elements of this project. First, they are used as printed colouring products such as posters, flyers and booklets. They are also printed on various objects that form Wunschgarten’s visual identity, such as sunbeds, parasols, beach flags and advertising banners.
The mix of the drawings’ irregular lines and the digital printing technique’s precision creates an unusual yet very eye-catching result. It looks professional as a visual setting, while staying inclusive by using kids’ creative input as the basis for the project’s visual language. It also creates continuity over time: having patterns from past workshops makes the feeling of being part of a long-term project visible.
