The group project I worked on with kevin, John, and Gina involved alot of reseach mainly on piaget's theory, but my involvment in the presentation also got me researching in illustrating for kids. Theirs so many things to be concious about when trying to apeal to kids and even parents. Although i was researching for illustrating a toy/ poster, i saw alot of books on illustrating for kids. This research made realize how serious that line of work could be, illustrating for children's books would be a cool career to persue, heres links to illustrating books and piagets theory incase you forgot.

This was really cool, and even though you are designing something for kids, it may sound a lot easier, but it's actually harder. I personally learned that in communication design class. They are very perceptive and sophisticated when it comes to what they visually react to. But you also need to understand all of the different elements that will work best when designing for kids.
Kids have a smart and simple thinking. Thats why if you design things for kids use Piagets theories.
