With the development of society, preschool education has been paid more and more attention in our country. Among them, as an important part of preschool education, the design should not only pay attention to the educational significance, but also pay attention to the visual habits of preschool children. Therefore, this paper will discuss how to design children's albums from the perspective of children's visual habits.

I. Understand the visual characteristics of young children.

First, we need to understand the visual characteristics of young children. Young children are not only in the early stage of visual development, but also have great differences with adults in their visual cognitive style. Children's visual cognitive style mainly manifests in the following aspects:：

1. Have a keen sense of color. Young children have a strong ability to recognize colors, but also prefer bright colors.

2. The cognition of the form is relatively simple. Children's perceptions of objects or shapes often depend on the size, color and shape of the objects.

3. Not enough attention to detail. Young children tend to pay less attention to detail, their main concern is the overall effect and color.

II. Echoing Children's Visual Habits

After understanding children's visual characteristics, next we need to design the album according to children's visual habits. It mainly includes the following aspects:：

1. Choose the right color

Children's perception of color is more acute, so in the album design should focus on color collocation. In general, you should choose bright and fresh colors, such as red, yellow, green, etc. At the same time, the colors should be coordinated and matched to ensure the overall effect beautiful and vivid.

2. Express content in simple figures and forms

Because the children's cognition of the form is relatively simple, so the pictures of the design album should be based on simple figures and forms. Adding a simple text description to the picture can help young children better understand the content. For example, adding a few simple shapes in a picture book can help toddlers better understand geometric shapes.

3. Highlight the main content.

Children's attention to details is not high, so when designing albums, they need to highlight the main content, make it more eye-catching. For example, highlight the focus in the album, such as inserting beautiful pictures in the storybook to enhance the visual experience of young children.

4. Reasonable typography and font

When designing an album, you should consider the rationality of typography and fonts. Generally speaking, the font should be thick, concise and easy to understand, and the typography should be regular, so that children can clearly distinguish each module and the relationship between modules.

5. Use elements such as interactivity to enhance attractiveness

Young children like interactive toys and games, and enjoy creative and imaginative experiences, so they can consider adding some interactive elements to enhance their attractiveness when designing the album. For example, adding games or other small interactions to the picture book can enhance the fun and interactive nature of the picture book.

III. Reasonable quality and processing

Finally, the quality and processing should be taken into account when designing the album to ensure that the album can be used for a long time and remain beautiful. Generally speaking, the printing paper used in the albums should be environmentally friendly materials, in order to ensure the smoothness and aesthetic degree can be used round corner cutting technology.

Anyway,Children's album designNot only should pay attention to the educational significance, but also should pay attention to the mutual echo with the children's visual habits. When designing the album, we should consider the factors such as children's age characteristics, visual habits, cognitive ability, etc. to make the album easy to understand, educational and interesting. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the quality and processing of the album to provide a good visual experience for young children. Only in this way can we really achieve the value of children's album design.
