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 blog. Taking illustration submissions from children ranging from ages three and above, the Imaginawesome Tumblr then recreates each submitted drawing with more graphic flair 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.
