Cartoon

The Zıpır mascot is the lead of an outdoor scene: the sky turns through day, evening and night, and the sentence's words are labeled with a pen.

Document: NIH NHLBI: Sleep Deprivation and Deficiency; NIH NHLBI, "Sleep Deprivation and Deficiency" (nhlbi.nih.gov/health/sleep-deprivation); the product's writer chose the scenes, narrated in the Ada and Theo and Cole voices. Kind: concepts and processes; Cartoon suits this kind. In the showcase video the Zıpır team chose the format.

Cartoon across the eight document kinds

It suits 2 kinds; for the other 6, another format works better. The sentence on a row that does not suit is the note the panel shows on that document.
