Kidcentric Aesthetic

The glamorization of the childlike infiltrates aesthetics across industries

Implications - In today's chaotic, information-saturated society, a childlike, bias-free perspective is something to strive toward. Expanding beyond a child-inspired attitude, design across industries is taking on a more childlike look. This kidcentric aesthetic speaks to a desire for less serious, more imaginative and lighthearted products and services.
Trend Themes
1. Kidcentric Aesthetic - Design across industries is taking on a more childlike look for lighthearted products and services.
2. Illustrated Alter-ego Editorials - Fashion models are taking on their playful illustrated selves for futuristic-inspired editorials.
3. Cartoon Health Kit Packaging - Childlike packaging design for a first aid kit targets the younger demographic and aims to appeal to their interests while also promoting safety.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion is taking inspiration from childhood nostalgia and playful, cartoon-like designs.
2. Packaging Design - Packaging design is shifting towards childlike, illustrated designs in order to target a younger audience.
3. Marketing - Marketers are utilizing childlike aesthetics within their advertising campaigns in order to promote their products as fun and lighthearted.
