Typography: We used two fonts -- Bertram font, and Times New Roman font. We choose the Bertram font type because it has nice style which kids like, and we use it in all our Website pages. Bertram font is not available on all users' machines, so we use it as text in graphics which will allow the Bertram font to be shown for all our users. Text in graphics means that the text will be shown as an image, not astext. Times New Roman Font was used in the "Story" sub pages because Bertram font will make it hard for the user to read the story.
Multimedia: We used multimedia at the "Movie" page to show movies for the kids. Our multimedia is Windows Media Player and its size is 4.25 MB. It takes less than 5 seconds to run and the user can watch the movie on the Web site but he/she can't download it.

This site was designed and implemented in 2004 as a project for the Graphics and Human Computer Interaction course supervised by Dr. Tamer Rabie, the course instructor.
More functionality will be added to the system in the near future. This includes:
• On-line interaction between users or their parents/teachers and the developers.
• Providing more varity lessons by keeping the enjoyable way.
