The world of Button Village was inspired by an experiment of mapping human faces. When we reduced faces to small texture images, we realized they looked almost identical.
So we replaced every human face with a button — a symbol of erased identity.
We chose a desaturated palette of greys and muted tones to convey suppression and stillness.
Since it is aimed at the group of people aged 16 to 22 who are about to become adults or have just become adults, and who are still confused and unaware of their position in society, we have chosen a style of adult picture books. While maintaining a somewhat dark tone, we also retain the strong hand-drawn style and colors.
