How to take care of children's drawings?
Where do you get all the children's drawings? I think every parent can relate. The children proudly bring (yet another) masterpiece, and the fridge is full. But the drawings deserve to be seen!
When I became a father myself, I was amazed at how many wonderful characters my little girl created in her sketchbook. Family members, stuffed animals, and fantasy characters emerged through lines, colors, and shapes that it was simply too bad to just collect in a box. The solution was a design poster with all the favorites collected, and over the years I made one poster for each of our three children as a Christmas present for my wife.
By the time the third and final poster was up on the wall, so many people had suggested that I make one to order that I had to check the interest. Through a couple of videos on social media, I was able to confirm that it wasn't just my wife who liked the posters, and that's how the online store you're now visiting was born.
Designed by hand
Kiddie Collage posters are made “by hand”. By this I mean that each drawing is exposed (the background is removed) using a wide range of techniques. The aim is to retain the original as much as possible, from thick marker lines to faint pencil shadows. All images receive a custom treatment, and none of the motifs are changed or fixed – the children’s lines are preserved 100%.
Then, all the motifs are put together so that they look as good as possible on the sheet, and completed with the child's own signature.
Finally, the posters are printed on 250g premium luster high-quality paper. The result is a completely unique design poster that captures your child's personality, interests and drawing style in the best way I can imagine.
