Breathing Life into Sign Language

Hello, dear readers! It's been a while since we last connected, and I must admit, the silence was not without reason. We've been immersed in a captivating journey that kept us busy and inspired, wearing two hats simultaneously – working shifts and creating mesmerizing book illustrations. Let us take you on this unique adventure we've embarked upon!


The process of making the books starts by collecting videos that beautifully showcased sign language. These videos are prepared by The Social Association of Deaf People and they are not only educational; they are also a visual symphony, conveying messages through elegant gestures and motions.




Our brilliant illustrator then take these videos and worked tirelessly to transform the dynamic actions into static illustrations. It is a meticulous endeavour, aiming to capture the energy and meaning of each sign while infusing our creative passion into every stroke.


But our journey doesn't end here. Our illustrations should be reviewed by the knowledgeable Deaf Consultant, Marcel Hirshman, who lends his expertise to ensure accuracy and user-friendliness. Together, we aim to fine-tune each illustration, striving for authenticity and impact.


This collaboration is truly inspiring – a fusion of creative talent, linguistic insight, and a shared commitment to making information accessible. As we emerge from this process, we present illustrations that go beyond the page; they're gateways connecting people and celebrating the richness of sign language.


In a world of constant activity, this journey teaches us that amidst our busyness, we can create something beautiful, meaningful, and inclusive.
