I love Typography (ILT) Designing Apps for Kids With the experience of having built ABCKit and many hours of testing different apps for kids behind us, we have noticed some recurring app design problems. For those working in this field, we would like to share some suggestions for designing and devising apps for children to help ensure the apps are correctly used by preventing some common design issues. If you’ve interacted with preschoolers (ages two to five), you’re aware that they do not quite grasp the concept of patience, especially when it comes to digital devices. A splash screen that takes more than ten seconds to load will give rise to comments from kids such as, "Mommy, it doesn’t work." They will get frustrated and lose their patience the first time they use the app. The Splash Screen for The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Even though The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. A splash screen is certainly necessary, as the app content needs to load before it can launch.

[Photo by Gerry Balding] We live in an age of austerity; or, rather, we are told that we live in an age of austerity. In the United States and throughout Europe, austerity is presented as a necessary stricture, and the mantra “cuts now, growth later” is repeated so steadily that it seems an inevitability, with consequences ranging from the personal (shortened shopping lists) to the public (cutbacks in major civic projects). For the large majority of the profession — let's say the 99% — the wider context of economic leanness is profoundly influencing every stage of the process. There is nothing particularly new about such straitened circumstances; the design professions have navigated successive waves of recession, e.g., in the early '80s, the early '90s, the early '00s.
