Do you mean the pastel illustrations?    We tried very hard to create  
custom illustrations that would appeal to primary school ages while  
not turning off teenagers.  It's a difficult balancing act, one that I  
think our illustrator did well with.   The illos are kid-like, but  
with a high enough quality to convey professionalism and depth.    
Similar styles are used in corporate marketing and elsewhere ... to  
convey a friendlier, more human, appeal.

Take care,
Tim
