Aaah, I loooved my crayons as a kid. They were definitely the reason I fell in love with the world of colour, and thus design. I remember myself as an 8 year old kid, lying on my stomach, on the lawn, drawing blades of grass in my sketch book, each in a different shade of green. And drawing rainbows so that each colour blended together with the colour next to it. But most of all, I was utterly fascinated by how there were so many different types of RED crayons. There was a red, red-violet, violet-red, red-orange, orange-red, dark red, carnation red, maroon, magenta, scarlet, crimson. And they were all so beautiful and different!

So as I opened up a new packet of crayons for my son, I held them up to my nose and took a long deep breath. Hehe. I went all nostalgic and a silly grin spread across my face. Which didn’t help my son, because he now thinks you’re supposed to put crayons up your nose.
