Spec's Spectrum Search

spec's spectrum search

I wrote, illustrated, and photographed all the features in this children's book. The premise is that the main character, Spec, realizes that all the colors in the world have disappeared because everyone is so engulfed by their phones. He goes on a journey around the city to find each color.

Unique Feature: When Spec finds every color, the color *lights up* in the book and is returned into the pictures. 

I used LED circuitry throughout the book to execute this design.
