I am not a graphic artist. I think it's because that's easier to do than
real stuff, like they do for adult's. I don't know, simple color schemes
do seem to appeal to the kids, and less busy screens make it somewhat
easier to tell what to "click" on.

Actually sourceforge allows surveys that are failurely easy to set up...
In fact you can take one I set up as a kind of test of the concept at
http://sourceforge.net//survey/survey.php?group_id=2600&survey_id=10210
Let me know your sourceforge account eric and I'll set you up as a
kidsgames developer and you can make a survey about the graphic artist
stuff.
