If you don't have children of your own, think back to when you were young and reflect upon the appeal of medication. It was always a pretty terrible experience to swallow, wasn't it? First Aid Spacepower packaging has been designed with little ones in mind, appreciating that they're generally resistant to the often unpleasantness of drugs amidst the awful sickly sensations of being ill.
Carlijn Evenboer (Carlinsky) of the Netherlands decided to design a range of pills, tablets, capsules and medicated beverages with a playful appearance. Cartoon astronauts, rocket ships and stars can be found all over the labels amidst strawberries that signify the flavor of some of the pharmaceuticals. First Aid Spacepower packaging simply makes clinical cures a whole lot less scary for kids.
