My Options

After talking to Angela I think I need to look at my options before I proceed. From the start my idea has been to make this fun, touch interactive, colourful and bright interface, that students would find easy to use.
Now I've been told what I have so far is too bright even after adjustments and that everything needs to be more sophisticated.

1. One option is to go ahead and change everything to even duller colours which in my opinion would give off a much duller atmosphere, make everything more sophisticated and see what happens. 
2. The other option that I though might be a better in terms of my Idea would be to change my target audience  Changing the user group to younger students, maybe that of intermediate or secondary school level, maybe younger. this might work, although I might get told again that my colours are too bright. 

I will email my tutor and find out what she thinks.
