Child Design

Designers making the work of children's imaginations into reality

Implications - Children have the most incredible imaginations, and the ability to dream beyond adult comprehension. While some artists have attempted to infuse their own work with the limitless creative qualities of children, others are harnessing the raw visions of real kids and bringing them to life.

Trend Themes

  1. Crowdsourced Business Models — Products like Stuff Your Doodles appeal to consumers who are full of creativity but don't have the technological means and demonstrate the power of crowdsourced business models.
  2. Personalized Products — The trend of personalized products is being seen in products like Child Artwork Pin and artiKIDS Wall Decals, where children's drawings are duplicated in real life.
  3. Transforming Children's Drawings Into Realistic Images — The trend of transforming children's drawings into realistic images is shown by The Monster Engine and Wonderland, where professional artists and photographers make children's drawings more realistic.

Industry Implications

  1. Arts and Crafts Industry — The arts and crafts industry can tap into the trend of personalized products to offer children the chance to create their own products using their drawings.
  2. Toy Industry — The toy industry could embrace the trend of transforming children's drawings into real toys, as is seen with the creation of stuffed toys by Lego.
  3. Photography Industry — The photography industry can be innovative and offer services similar to Wonderland by recreating fantasy photographs inspired by children's drawings.
