Buses for children by children
The spark of the idea came from a accidental conversation, Vanessa was with the Nett team. “Why nothing for children by children?” When designed for adults, they can go to normal trops, superhero et al, when the children draw, they do not have a commercial agenda or the binding needs to be perfect, “Swiss designers say that Kochi works as a creative advisor in Kochi.

He gave nine -year -old Neil, and seven -year -old Uday, by giving sketch books, systematically approached the process and asked them to sketch with his imagination. “I told him to think of the characters he wants to talk about; Not images that she has seen on TV, “she says.

He sorted out through dozens of paintings, which the children made, chose the best people, scale them and adjusted some colors before introducing the net. Vanessa says, “We wanted the rugs as close to the original pictures as possible – we did not want to fix them or wanted to make them look cuters,” Vanessa says.

When the children saw the last samples, they were happy to say at least. She says, “This was an idea to fulfill the journey of an idea for her – how it takes form in the mind, develops on paper and makes it for a physical object that they can touch and feel,” she says. And the drawings that emerged were working with a child’s innocence, a sense of curiosity and a water splash of the imaginary.
While Neil’s book was mostly filled with dragons and snakes, Uday attracted the demons. Vanessa says that most of these demons also had backstory. “He will tell me in detail about each of his demons – Dansey, a monster who prefers dancing, Joker Enian,” who is like a clown monster, but can live in space for 22 years without a helmet “or Gaco Blueberry, which is a” good, where snakes can go into snakes, where snakes can go and go.
