3. Font types
Colour Scheme
We have chosen these colours
because they are bright and eye
catching, are based off of the
primary colours, which is what
children see most of, and simple
block colours.
We have chosen these font types because they will
appeal to our target audience (children and their
parents), they are interesting to look at, and they
are the type of font that they will be around on a
daily basis (in their books and on TV shows etc.)
the bulk of the text will be written in Aabb
