Origami Monkey

The "Origami Monkey" web site prototype was designed to engage and teach children (9 and up) how to create their own origami.

To present this information in a visually engaging format and help children learn the skills of origami we chose to use a comic book metaphor, with Origami Monkey as the superhero and guide.
