7. Personalized Art Kits for Homeless Children

   

   

   

   

   Ok, this is the sweet­est design stu­dent project ever. With the aim of touch­ing the hearts of 45 chil­dren in a Bronx home­less shel­ter, Samia Kallidis designed a per­son­al­ized art kit that includes a col­or­ing book and art sup­plies cur­rently needed at the shelter.

   The story in the book unfolds as each child uses the art sup­plies in their magic box to cre­ate their own adven­ture. Samia cre­ated the play­ful design using water­col­ors and hand-lettered typography.
