2D and 3D Forms
- All characters will be caricatured somewhat in order to give the user the impression that they are embarking on an entertainment experience (as opposed to a "digital textbook")
- Form styles can be varied
- Must be high contrast for sight impaired and to mimic letter-set printing press output

- The same paper texture will be laid over all of the videos
- Both the animated bust, the subtitles and the audio will be delivered via a single video.
- When the character stops talking, the animation should pop down (disappear) for 2 seconds , then pop-up and start again
