Profile picture of Amy Crozier

I am a London based designer specialising in Illustration and the design of print-ready product packaging. My consistent demographic has been young people, I am passionate about designing for this audience, especially for educational purposes. With previous experience in Fine Art, I excel in creating analogue as well as digital artworks, across a range of media including traditional methods of printing and painting.

I have used my illustrative skills to create various Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) resources for ages 10-13 years. This is something I feel passionately about and would consider pursuing as a career especially in our current educational climate, where children are not receiving enough support about puberty. I am enthusiastic about designing for children and would thrive in a community dedicated to designing for this audience.

My final project ‘Becoming Me’ helps educate children ages 10-13 about the topics they have heard online or in the playground but are refused to be taught in Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) lessons. These four laminated workbooks are reusable, interactive and important. An accompanying free interactive website holds links to downloadable worksheets for children, parents or teachers as well as worksheet answers, more information and a glossary.

With the current re-evaluation of RSHE content there is no time like the present to push important subjects such as gender, sexuality, female pleasure and consent into the curriculum. It seems that Government professionals are resistant to include topics like these into classroom resources, however my project shows just how simply they can be introduced. Considering explicit content is becoming much more accessible to children online it is imperative we contribute free resources to help distinguish between fact and fiction before information is misinterpreted. These books have been based entirely around questions from real children and approved by real teachers.

Final work

Four laminated A4 workbooks covering consent, body parts, confusing emotions and sex.

The Workbooks

The workbooks are intended to encourage discussion between a child and their peers/parent/teacher. By being whiteboard friendly they are able to be passed through siblings and used as a classroom resource for multiple lessons. The A4 size makes the content easily seen by multiple people at once - enhancing classroom discussion and paired work.

A website linked to the workbooks providing answers, more information and a glossary.

The Website

The single scroll website is intended to offer free resources and support to children and adults when learning about sex education. The website is easy to navigate and interactive with animations based on the illustrations in the workbooks. The downloadable PDF worksheets are taken from the workbooks - giving insight into the type of content that the workbooks offer. The links to the glossary and extra information is there to support both child and adult when browsing through the site.

Becoming Me - Website and Workbook Walkthrough

A quick run through of the website and workbook connection via QR codes. This shows just how easy it is for children to access the answers, free worksheets and a glossary. The bright colours and interactive nature of the website makes it very appealing and a fun and exciting experience for the target demographic.

Becoming Me has also received approval from the target demographic - a 10 year old child.

With this project I hope to spark an important conversation about sex education and the introduction of these important topics into the curriculum for 10-13 year old students. It is important that we act quickly.
