Hi. Thanks for the opportunity. I am a dad and designer from South Africa invested in giving back to my community.
I am entering for the prize as I am focused on a project to nurture creative thinking for children in developing countries. The project, entitled 'THE ASKERBIRDS' is primarily designed on and for iPad use and is based on years of research into learning methods.
I do all the illustrations for the books on an iPad Mini and you can imagine relief the larger screen will bring me. Combined with the Apple Pencil, the iPad Pro will hopefully allow me to take my efforts to a much higher level as well as enable a larger group of children to be included in readings due to the larger screen.
To see the work that goes into the project and the end result grab a free copy of one of the finished books from the iBooks store - just search for ASKERBIRDS. I am very happy to have had tremendous and positive feedback thus far and am excited about what can be achieved for the project going forward with an iPad Pro, if I am selected as the winner.
Regards,
S.
