The project, which is being released under the new Buzzfeed Product Labs label, lets consumers turn [pixelated images large scale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror) by giving them a schematic for how to lay out different [colored Post-it notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-x-pantone) accordingly. Each MuralKit design has been conceived ahead of time. The kits themselves come with all of the colored Post-its necessary for the design as well as a paper backing. The backing serves as a numbered guide for each color of Post-it, as well as a way to make it easier to remove the entire mural in one pull. MuralKits come in nondescript boxes, making them an ideal surprise gift for friends; they won't know what they're designing until they're nearly finished. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Post-it Note Art:** The rise of MuralKits demonstrates the increasing popularity of creating large-scale pixelated images using colored Post-it notes. - **Consumer Engagement in Art:** MuralKits offer an interactive and engaging way for consumers to participate in the creation of murals. - **Personalized Surprise Gifting:** Nondescript MuralKit boxes enable surprise gifting and add an element of excitement to the mural-making process. ### Who This Affects Most - **Stationery and Office Supplies:** Companies in the stationery industry can leverage the popularity of Post-it notes by offering similar mural-making kits or collaborating with artists for unique designs. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Art supply manufacturers can create specialized products like colored Post-it notes designed specifically for creating pixelated murals. - **Creative Entertainment:** Companies in the entertainment industry can incorporate MuralKits into interactive exhibits or workshops, providing consumers with a unique and memorable art experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Virtual Brainstorming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-app.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Digital Sticky Note Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-sticky-notes.md) - [Renter-Friendly Wallpaper Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renter-friendly-wallpaper.md) - [Sticky Note Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemonic-gen-2.md) - [Pixelated Toy-Like Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litebrite-pop-wow-wall-art.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Sticky Notes Holder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-holder.md)
