Viva Design Inc.

Viva Design Inc. has produced and released its first Love to Read DVD series for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. With its playfully animated alphabet and words, the engaging images inspire a child’s desire to read. Parents will also be delighted by the digital downloads,free coloring pages, and animated flashcards offered at www.lovetoread.com. 

As the mom of Cosima and Nikolas, Love to Read’s creative director Ulrike Kerber developed the concept while sharing her love of reading with them. Not satisfied with existing products, the graphic designer with extensive experience in animation and film created her own beautiful DVD series for children. She believes that your child can learn to read and that an introduction to reading is vital for early childhood development.

In addition to beginning letter recognition, Love to Read is a playful learning experience that exposes children to design, art, an eclectic mix of music, and filmmaking. The 40-minute DVD presents the alphabet in stop-motion animation made with simple recyclable household materials such as noodles, licorice, rice, foil, and marshmallows. The first edition of this DVD for kids focuses on letters and single words with whimsical story lines that stimulate them to explore, recognize, and remember the alphabet. 

Even parents will enjoy Love to Read with its hi-end production and “how to” section on creating simple animation with a digital camera. The website also includes an Alphabet Blog with alphabets designed by various artists.

As an excellent resource for caregivers and teachers, the Love to Read DVD will soon also be released in Spanish and German. This allows the DVDs to be used as an introduction to foreign languages. Love to Read books, coloring pages, memory games, creative kits, and iphone/ipad applications are planned for the near future.
The motion graphics company Viva Design Inc. was founded in 1998 by Ulrike Kerber. Based in Santa Barbara, California, it has won awards and nominations such as The Television Academy Emmy nomination, New York Festival, BDA, Omni Awards, Type Directors’ Club Award, and Art Director’s Club Award.
