If you could mash together the pure creativity of a child with the competent artistic abilities of an adult, you’d get this amazing 'Imaginawesome' [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) blog. Taking [illustration submissions from children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle2life) ranging from ages three and above, the Imaginawesome Tumblr then recreates each submitted drawing with [more graphic flair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamcanvas) to better articulate the ideas of children.

One standout so far has to be Caroline’s illustration, whose eight-year-old mind concocted an image of herself and her brother as mermaids. The Imaginawesome version of the picture hilariously raises this idea to a more artistic level.

**Implications** - Consumers enjoy blogging because they want to feel as though they're actively contributing content to the media rather than solely receiving content from corporate sources. Corporations may consider giving consumers a new platform for self-expression in order to satiate their desire to be content producers.
