Tools to Provide Accessibility

Image
I am using the site https:validator.w3.org , which is used to test websites for accessibility for those blind or visually impaired although it is not good for those who are deaf. If you design the code for both blind and visually impaired as well as for those who are hearing impaired , the video must also include closed caption ing so the design would be for everyone. If a user is both hearing and visually impaired at the same time, they would need assistive technology to have a braille display and keyboard . T he designer would need to know what limitations the assistive technology has and must change the code to allow diverse types of displays to be used . Closed captions can be used for the one s that have no hearing issues but are in a room where it would be rude to blast the audio so they can hear it over the noise or when headphones are not available.

Information Design Process

Image
             The information design I like is a combination of picture and quantitative information design. By the combination of picture and quantitative information design you can get the information to many people at the same time. Dan Roam describes both picture and quantitative information design in the book Back of the Napkin: Solving problems and selling ideas with pictures. The following picture describes the 5 W's and H involved in using charts  to show steps, while giving you sample data.             If you combine quantitative information design with visual thinking style you can get both who the information is for and what information you need and what information needs to change based on the meetings with the clients and the development teams. Here is one table I made for an assignment for Creative Writing class to describe the characters with help of other people who have seen the anime called B...
