GIANT Product Design Bootcamp: Kawaii Love Monster Postcards


  • ASYNCHRONOUS ONLINE (map)

Join our free Creative Product Design Bootcamp to design the most lovable characters, make prototypes, express emotions, and remix ideas into personalized Valentine’s Day postcards.

How It Works:

1. Register for the bootcamp.

2. Complete the Mission Sheet and email it back to us.

3. Pre-order your postcards and get them before Valentine’s Day!

DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to express their love and get their designs published as personalized postcards!

During the bootcamp, we’ll send you a Mission Sheet that will guide you through the process of making your very own Valentine’s Day postcard! Design the cutest monsters (or aliens, fairies, puppies, dragons, gnomes, turtles, kittens…) that you can’t help but fall in love with! You’ll even have the option to add written messages and gifts to your postcards. We’ll also send you creative Mission Videos to inspire you and help you learn about character design, kawaii drawing techniques, and ways to express your love and emotions.

We’ll then remix your ideas, designs, and submissions into personalized Valentine’s Day postcards that you can share with, family, friends, classmates, and loved ones!

What are GIANT Remixes?

GIANT Remixes are a new, super popular program by The GIANT Room, where kids’ ideas get published into books, games, interactive journals and trading cards. These remixes are designed to highlight kids’ creativity, boost their creative confidence, and engage them in more building, more storytelling, and more play!
