Project:   Flash movie - Estah's energy-saving tips - within Contact's website
     
Objective:   To help kids learn about electricity saving

Intro page:

  • Kids like to see all the options open to them clearly displayed on a home page. They also love rolling over things to see the interaction. And it's important to give things a bit of movement.

Have a look at the Flash

Some general observations:

  • Note: there is a non flash version of the text also available.

  • Estah is a nice friendly character with a big smile and some facial animation.

  • The movie uses large text that is easy to read.

  • Clear and simple navigation is a great help to kids. This is an interesting example of where we have taken the usual navigation (most noticeably the 'back' button) off the flash movie as it would have confused the kids.

  • There are lots of 'surprises' in the movie which are revealed when kids role their mouse over a section.
