Guiding principles
Sound is an interface.
Volume, frequency, and form affect mood, behavior, and energy. Sound affects the usability and accessibility of experiences. Intuitive simplicity - Experiences should be uncomplicated and uncluttered.
Patterns.
Patterns provide clarity, simplicity, and organization. Patterns and shapes help recognition. Patterns create space for surprises and dynamics.
Intergenerational learning.
The sound design accommodates the different developmental stages of children. Age 0-5 The sound design provides tangible 'hooks' for carers and children to learn together.
