Healthy Habits for Kids
The Challenge UC Davis required Spanish translations to launch their educational curriculum for children from PreK to third grade. The material was extensive, detailing the USDA Food and Nutrition Service guidelines, and included five teachers' guides along with handouts for students and parents. Additionally, we had to ensure the material met ADA compliance standards. How Localipsum Assisted Our examination of the original content allowed us to showcase our skills beyond just translation. We proposed a complete curriculum redesign, as the existing images were outdated. Our goal was to create an engaging presentation that would excite teachers and motivate students. This was a chance for us to collaborate closely with UC Davis and the original content creators to enhance how their material was displayed. Understanding that design preferences vary among clients, we invited four senior designers to present their ideas for a total overhaul, including style, layout, content organization, fonts, and character designs for the client's selection. We wanted the project's personality to truly stand out. After UC Davis chose a designer, we focused on assembling a skilled typesetting team. This team developed new layouts for the English content, and once that was finished, we assembled a top-tier translation team with a consultant specialized in primary education. The initial task was to create a glossary and term base in Spanish to ensure that teachers, children, and parents could easily understand the translated material. The final product was exactly what UC Davis needed — a fun, engaging, and easily readable curriculum, complete with appealing visuals tailored for their teachers and young audience.
