Project Overview:
An independently developed two-book educational series designed to support early childhood literacy. The Fokus Belajar project was conceived to address foundational reading and writing skills through structured repetition, visual clarity, and age-appropriate instructional design. The series focuses on building confidence in early learners by simplifying complex literacy concepts into accessible, engaging exercises.

Our Role:

• Research –
  Early literacy research focused on phonetic recognition, repetition-based learning, and fine motor skill development for young children.

• Writing –
  Original instructional content developed to introduce reading and writing fundamentals in a clear, progressive, and child-friendly manner.

• Translation –
  Language refinement and localisation to ensure instructional clarity and natural flow within Indonesian early-learning contexts.

• Visual Concept Development –
  Development of a simple, supportive visual system prioritising clarity, focus, and reduced cognitive load for early learners.

• 2D Character & Costume Design –
  Creation of minimal, approachable characters designed to reinforce learning without visual distraction.

• Character & Art Layout –
  Structured page layouts guiding learners through exercises intuitively, balancing text, illustration, and practice space.

• Pre-Print Production –
  Final artwork preparation and layout refinement to ensure print accuracy, usability, and durability for repeated educational use.

Books:

Book 1 – Fokus Belajar Membaca AEIOU
