Children’s psychology is simple and
complex. What kind of printed children's book can fit children's mind, produce
valuable "first-sight effects"? Publishing and printing a children's
book is a huge project. It requires the authors and children's book printing
designers to make great efforts in children's book concepts, colors, printed
materials, etc., in order to print and publish a book that is loved by
children.
What is the concept of children
book?
When children's book authors and children's
book printing designers understand the concept of the books, it is easy to finish
the book based on children's psychology.
1. When writing children's books, the writers
should pay attention to the actual reading needs of children's readers and
respect children's psychological characteristics.
2. When designing a children's book, designers
should design the printed children's books with a childlike heart, so that the books
have artistic and market vitality.
3. Regardless of whether it is the content or
design of children's books, please throw away your rational shell when
creating, and try to observe the world with children's eyes.
Choose different colors as per the
reader's age
Color is an eye-catching artistic
language in children's book printing. Children's book printing color has visual
impact and is an important element to beautify children's book printing.
Children's book printing is inseparable from bright colors and images, because
rich colors can cultivate children's aesthetic ability.
1. Children like brightly colored
images, so bold colors can be used in the printing design of children's books
to attract children's attention. However, unscientific color usage may cause
harm to children's eyes.
2. Clarify the positioning of
children's book printing colors, and match colors according to children's
preferences.
Children of all ages have
different perceptions of color. Before printing children's
book, you need to know which age children are your readers.
For example: children in early
childhood can only recognize basic colors such as red, yellow, and blue;
children over 3-5 years old can gradually distinguish the concentration and
purity of colors; children over 6 years old are more able to distinguish colors
and prefer colors with strong contrast.
In short, color is an important
bridge for information transmission between children and the book. Designers
and authors use color to guide children to better perceive the outside world
and cultivate their keen aesthetic ability.
Please make sure to use safe
materials in children's book printing
Unlike adults, children do not
rely solely on vision to perceive the world, but touch is also a very important
way. Therefore, the selection of children's book printing materials needs to
ensure safety. When choosing children's book printing materials, children's
book printing designers must not only consider the overall effect of the book,
but also consider the age group of the readers.
1. Children between the ages of 3 and
6 cannot read text freely. Therefore, books of this age group are mostly based
on graphics. When choosing paper, designers should choose paper with better
color expression and thicker texture.
2. The reading ability of children
between the ages of 7 and 13 has been greatly enhanced, and children in this
period have already gone to school, so when books of this age group should
choose paper or other materials with natural colors and a small burden on the
eyes.
3. When printing children's books of
younger ages, you should try to avoid choosing coated paper, because this kind
of paper has high hardness and sharp edges, which can easily cause damage to
the skin of children.
4. When choosing fabrics for
children's book binding and finishing ways, cotton fabrics should be used more,
because it has a soft texture.
