“13% of the U.S. brush their teeth from side to side.”

So the website I will be designing is an informational dental hygiene site for kids from the ages 4 to 7 that they can go through with their parents. Because it’s for a very young audience that can barely read, imagery is key. So I will be using kid-friendly illustrations with plenty of bright colors so that it can encourage healthy dental habits.

NickJr.com is one website that I found inspiration from. It was fun to look at. There were bright colors and smiling characters and mascots that seemed to have fun with whatever they were doing. One thing that I noticed is that the games and activities are in the feature, which is an apparent hook; the designer is demanding the children’s attention.
