Catching kids behaving in their most natural manner and playing with other kids almost guarantees a great photograph. However, one thing you should never let happen while shooting your kids is the children looking at the camera as it will spoil the whole atmosphere. You only want to capture the innocence, warmth, silliness and sweetness of them and it is Continue Reading

Two very similar designs with somewhat different audiences, Multiplo emphasizes their kit-of-parts approach as a means toward making convertible adult furniture, while Gogo Blocks are presented as a way for children to build their own play spaces, forts and mazes.
Sinclair Smith designed the Blocks as a student project, and, when he came across Multiplo, celebrated and encouraged HeyTeam‘s development of its parallel project.
But the blocks can work as furniture too, writes Smith: “Gogo blocks are a children’s play system of foam pillows for building and imagining, and are specifically scaled to form a twin mattress for sleepover guests.”
As to Multiplo: users are welcome to invent their own configurations and transformations, but core starting suggestions include couches, beds and a square lounge pit for seating groups. Also, the color palette is a bit more passable for older users (at least: young adults), being somewhat less colorful than that of its cousin, Gogo.

Children already at risk may also risk further abuse if they are seen to be seeking help, hence this twist on lenticular printing – a message that reads one way to tall adults, and another to small minors.
The ANAR Foundation needed a way for potential victims to read their communication secretly (including the unspoken visual content – bruises on the portrait), without alerting those accompanying them on the street.
Shifting from one perspective to the other slowly reveals an increasingly different image as well as additional text, including the helpline phone number.
Lenticular images are often used to create dynamic billboards that shift as people walk or drive by, but this variant flips the typical format on its side and gives it a higher purpose than mere marketing.

When the rest of the house is carefully furnished and decorated to be both practical and a visual representation of the adult residents’ style, why should kids’ rooms be a primary-colored afterthought? These 32 bold, modern bedrooms for children by 8 interior designers and furniture manufacturers around the world offer smart solutions for little ones’ needs, often with compact modular all-in-one sets.
Some modern furniture retailers offer incredibly compact, function-packed bedroom sets for kids and teens that make use of every inch of space. Italian company GAB is among them, with colorful bunk beds and trundle beds that provide sleeping space for more than one child while maintaining organization and privacy. The sets are visually cohesive, with desks, storage, wardrobes and other components on wheels so they can slide around as needed.
For parents who want their children’s bedrooms to match the rest of their traditionally decorated homes, AltaModa offers a range of furniture and decor concepts that are like adult rooms in miniature, but with a dash of whimsy. The same attention to detail that would be seen in the master bedroom is applied here, with themes like horses, poodles, nautical, baseball and aviation.
The adults in the house might get jealous of this cool, sophisticated kids bedroom idea by Geometrix Design. A soothing palette of silver, gunmetal and gold is carried from the eye-catching puzzle-piece wall to a built-in closet, entertainment center and storage area on one side of the room.

Packing maximum function into tight spaces, Italian furniture maker Tumidei offers bright lofted bedroom sets with everything a kid needs built right in. These modern, compact and often modular all-in-one interiors hide extra beds under platforms, elevate study spaces and include lots of storage room.
Available in virtually any color scheme, Tumidei’s lofted bedroom sets for children and teenagers have lots of slide-out components that save valuable square footage when not in use. Beds disappear under elevated platforms that take advantage of ceiling height to maximize available space.
Many of these sets are ideal for multiple kids sharing a room, offering distinct space for each child without sacrificing looks and organization. Twin beds are placed on top of cabinets to keep clutter at bay, desks are shared and stairs double as drawers.
Tumidei also makes furniture sets for adults. All materials used are ecologically friendly, meeting European requirements for low formaldehyde content and non-toxic paints. See more space-saving room ideas on their website.

Two years ago in 2010, in the lead up to Christmas, we ran a little experimental promotion for dPS readers where we offered you 12 photographic deals over the 12 days before Christmas. The deals were a mix of discounts on our own products as well as some great deals from other photographic brands.
The campaign was just going to be a one off and we planned it as a small gift to our readers but the response from readers was huge and months out from last Christmas people started asking us if we were going to run it again.
We ran an even bigger version in 2011 by doing some bigger deals on our own products and used the success of the first year to convince some other brands to offer bigger discounts too.
So what’s happening this year?
I’m excited to announce that starting today we’re doing it all again and it is going to be bigger than ever.
