Design studio Build has launched a bright and fun series of Animal A-Z prints.

Perfect for kids but no doubt adored by adults too, there are 26 prints available – one for every letter of the alphabet, of course – plus three additional prints featuring the entire alphabet.

"Each animal has been drawn in a simple, playful and bold style, allowing the individual character traits to shine through," said Build's Creative Director Michael C. Place, who notes that each print can be displayed as part of a set or as an individual piece.

The prints – all printed at Build's Walthamstow-based studio – are available to buy now from (by) Build Shop.

The studio has previously worked with big clients including Made.com, Nokia and Design Museum London.

iPads, iPhones and iPod touches have got a new look. Here's how Apple's apps, and some of the other apps you use on a regular basis, have changed with iOS 7.

iPads, iPhones and iPod touches have got a new look. Here's how Apple's apps, and some of the other apps you use on a regular basis, have changed with iOS 7.

Apple has rolled out iOS 7, and with it comes a complete redesign of the look and feel of the user interface. It's not just iOS 7 itself that's changed – many app developers have updated their apps to coincide with the release of iOS 7, and have taken design cues from Apple in their apps' makeovers.

In addition to many of Apple's own apps, the developers behind Evernote, eBay, Twitter, Facebook and more have ditched skeuomorphism, added transparency and simplified the overall design.

Here, we bring you a before and after look at how apps have changed with the iOS 7 update.

Apple has updated its Photos app. Here's a before and after image, with iOS 6 on the left and iOS 7 on the right.

Apple's Music app has some changes, including the way you'll see Albums when you're looking for something to listen to.

You'll now be able to see an image beside each artist in Apple's Music app.

iOS 7's now playing screen now has a transparent effect.

Here's how Evernote has changed. On the left you can see the iOS 6 version, and on the right, the skeuomorphic-free design that has arrived with the update.

With the new iOS 7 update, Twitter has introduced a new, flatter design.

Similarly, Facebook has adopted a flatter design.

eBay has also gone for a new design that takes cues from Apple's iOS 7.

There are some apps, of course, that haven't changed at all in the move from iOS 6 to iOS 7, including Hipstamatic, which is still absolutely and (to borrow a word from Sir Jony Ive) unapologetically skeuomorphic.
