bed–time / An Universal and Intersectional Sex Education
Platform That Actually Appeals to Teenagers / 2023



H The premise of this project was to try and design a solution that could improve the sexual rights of people with disabilities. Disabled people are often perceived as asexual and their sexual needs are rarely addressed in sex education, which are two major contributors to the general exclusion of them in society (RFSU 2021). 

Contrary to sex toy websites, many of the existing sex education platforms directed at teenagers tend to make the topic of sex seem medicinal and dull. So, I decided to design bed–time: a platform with a focus on developing a visual profile and tone of voice that feels youthful and fun – in other words, a communication style that actually appeals to teenagers. I also wanted bed–time to normalize disabled people’s sexual needs, which is why universal design became a crucial part of the solution. Instead of dividing the content into a “us and them”, I decided to always cover the sexual perspectives of disabled people alongside with those of others. 




The varying width in ITC Avant Garde Gothic‘s characters contributes 
to its charachteristic playfulness. Apart from being a stylistic choice, the 
dash between ‘bed’ and ‘time’ serves to symbolize the activities that 
potentially present themselves at bedtime.
