PUBLIC MARKS with search children

Tattly started out of my frustration that temporary children tattoos are often hideous looking. Think Clip Art gone Tattoo. I was ready to put designy, cool, typographic tattoos on my daughter’s arm. Tattly was born. When you have such an all-star line up of designers submitting designs, there’s not much that can go wrong. Yay for a fun-loving design community that was in for the ride.

Reframing Mexico" looks at the Mexico City beyond the violent headlines. The site features 12 short video documentaries and multiple interactive features. Topics include a single mother raising children in a large metro dump, a carpenter whose illegal immigration to the US ended when the American dream eluded him, a disabled father overcoming stigma and discrimination, and others. Interactive features include a border crossing game, a "build your own wrestler" feature, and more. This project is a collaboration between UNC Photojournalism and Monterrey Tec.

Taipei (The China Post/ANN) – Amid the very real concerns of Taiwan’s declining birthrate, advocates for children and youth health Saturday (July 16) pointed out that within the last year, up to 500,000 women underwent abortions.

E-books are already a fraught subject for many readers, writers, publishers and designers, but children's e-books are even more so. Is it rotting their minds? Is it as good as good ol' paper? Is it too interactive for their own good? Obviously there are no practical answers to such questions, but at least one children's e-book/app/thingie (what do we call these things, again?) is doing it very, very right. It's called "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," and it's like a well-written bedtime story and an immersive animated movie at once -- without being "too much" of either.

As written, the law would limit advertising to black text with no graphics except in magazines with few young readers or in retail establishments open only to adults. Arguing in favor of that restriction, the government had asserted that companies were using light colors and appealing imagery as substitutes for their misleading use of the terms “light” and “low tar,” which will be banned in June. The judge ruled that companies could use imagery and colors appropriately to communicate “what the product is and who makes it.” He dismissed government objections that such marketing tailored to adults would unduly influence children. If that part of the ruling is upheld, Reynolds could continue using a colored drawing of a camel to promote Camel cigarettes, and Lorillard could continue promoting the aqua color associated with Newport, the leading menthol brand, company spokesmen said. “We are gratified that the court upheld our free speech rights to use color and graphics in our advertising to communicate with our adult consumers,” said Michael W. Robinson, a Lorillard spokesman.

Au début de 2008, l’association Save The Children lance une opération de communication sur Kroo Bay, un quartier pauvre de Freetown au Sierra Leone, régulièrement noyé par les pluies d’hivernage. L’opération est relayée rapidement par une reconstruction locale et une série de “webisodes” sur le site de l’association. Les photos d’Anna Kari et Guilhem Alandry, traitées en panoramiques 360° ont été éditées régulièrement pendant 2 ans sur le site. Il y a quelques mois, les auteurs ont condensés leurs travaux sur le sujet dans un documentaire spécifique, hébergé sur le site du collectif (documentography). Le résultat est parfaitement maitrisé, superbement réalisé.

"Tiga Talk Speech Therapy Games", developed with licensed speech and language pathologists, is a fun way for children to develop speech sounds through playful voice-controlled games that can improve speech clarity, articulation, and instill confidence. The app is for parents and speech therapists working with toddlers and children with language delays.

In his games, Miyamoto has always tried to re-create his childhood wonderment, if not always the actual experiences that gave rise to it, since the experiences themselves may be harder to come by in a paved and partitioned world. “I can still recall the kind of sensation I had when I was in a small river, and I was searching with my hands beneath a rock, and something hit my finger, and I noticed it was a fish,” he told me one day. “That’s something that I just can’t express in words. It’s such an unusual situation. I wish that children nowadays could have similar experiences, but it’s not very easy.”

The lottery of life. Subject to chance, you can see where in the world you would most likely be born.

As of today, 152 Canadian soldiers have died since Canada entered the war in Afghanistan in 2002. With this project, we go beyond the static photographs and news headlines and get to know the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. In the film, we introduce a new generation of Canadian heroes. We meet their spouses, siblings, children, and parents. We reminisce with old friends at home and re-live life in Afghanistan with comrades in arms. We bear witness and explore the true human cost of war.
