Crowd Design : Plushie Dreadfuls Visual Snowbunny

Visual snow is a rare neurological condition characterized by tiny flickering dots or static, much like the "snow" on an old television screen, that appear across the entire field of vision. These dots can be black, white, colored, or transparent and are constantly present. 
It has been more recently linked to tinnitus and migraines, though the exact cause is unknown.

    • I have visual snow, funnily enough did not know it wasn’t the normal way people see until a few years ago.
      I like this design concept! I would personally prefer the colours be more muted since the snow can sometimes affect the way color looks (especially in lower light), and I’d love to see some kind of TV static element, maybe in place of the heart as someone else has commented?, since describing it as “static, like on a screen but across everything I see” is generally how I get the point across to others.
      Also I like one of the previous commenters bringing up floaters, I recently developed/noticed those and they’ve been super frustratingly in the way of… everything. It would make sense to somehow incorporate those little clear-vision-worms into the design, maybe as texturing in the ears, or as separate little bunnies that come with the plushie, as some other designs have done. Sort of as “constant tagalongs,” since they never really go away, and the visual effects come with you wherever you go.

    • I have visual snow from an adverse reaction from zoloft! Is there a way to incorporate how some of us with visual snow can see ‘halos’ around objects? Like a circle around the eyes or even a straight up halo at the back of the head?
      Also something that shows a representation of the occipital lobe? Maybe the halo can incorporate a dot where bunny would have an occipital lobe

      I really love it so far!!

    • I think that i would like if the design had something to represent floaters. For me they are kinda black with like a colorful trail/outline. Floaters are a common part of visual snow and i would love for them to be represented. I also agree with what someone else said about maybe adding some sort of TV symbolism. Otherwise love it and im so happy its in the crowd design process.

    • I commented my experience with visual snow (idk if it got approved yet lol) but i think the hands and feet should be static along with the eyes and inner ear. colorful static would be cool, like an overlay of static with the current colors? I feel like the eyes should look more exhausted or like they’re trying really hard to focus. Also, somehow incorporate swirls/waves to represent everything constantly moving. Fogged glass is a good representation too, maybe make the fur look marbled or “foggy” if possible? This is all just what I would want on my visual snow rabbit considering my experience with visual snow.

    • I have visual snow and it is not fun. I never get to see the sky and the clouds without millions of tiny flickering dots covering my entire field of vision. When I look at a wall or ceiling it’s trippy, as the dots make everything look like it’s moving or twisting. It’s hard to look at and focus on things for a long period of time because the static makes me almost claustrophobic and eventually the dots and static become too distracting to even take in what you’re trying to look at. Looking at my phone screen right now is trippy because the static covering the LCD screen outlines everything with rainbow static flickering dots. Reading feels like watching the ocean. The whole page swirls around with the flickering dots, making letters and words look like they’re constantly moving. So, visual snow sucks. The rarity of the condition makes getting a diagnosis difficult and makes me feel like I should just shut up and put up with it.
