I help you create accessible and engaging designs and content.
What is Inclusive Design?
Inclusive design, particularly for the disabled community, means creating with their needs in mind. The Social Model of Disability highlights that societal barriers, not individual impairments, disable people. In graphic design, this translates to designs creating barriers when they lack accessibility. For example, poor color contrast and illegible typefaces prevent interaction, placing the onus on the designer, not the viewer. This can lead to exclusion, such as a dyslexic person being unable to decipher event details, effectively barring them from attending.
