Outcome 2: Sam. A book about gender Stereotypes.
The experimental format of the book breaks the two separate worlds: male and female. The two characters, Samuel and Samantha communicate a positive message on gender equality through diversity. As a result of the info-design project, this illustrated book provides a response to children’s ideas of gender and offers them an image of genders without stereotypes.
