This thesis explores how graphic design can support young adults in establishing sustainable

cleaning routines when moving into their first home. The aim was to create a tool that

simplifies household tasks through visual clarity and physical interactivity. The design

solution resulted in a printed, interactive book that organizes chores by time intervals and

combines checklists, color coded sections and tactile paper elements. The project is grounded

in theories of visual communication, typography, color psychology and gestalt principles. A

thematic analysis of a user survey provided insight into the needs and preferences of the

target group. The design process involved layout development, prototyping and bookbinding.

Results show that a simple, structured and engaging physical tool can improve users' sense

of clarity, motivation and control. The project demonstrates how graphic design can function

as a practical aid in everyday life.
