Accessibility

Think about a recent interaction you have recently experienced. How would you redesign this if your users were blind? If they were physically disabled? If they had hearing issues? How has your thinking changed after watching the videos about accessibility and inclusivity in terms of how you might approach your design work?

Write or sketch your experience and your ideas in the class blog. You may use sketches and annotations to explain your idea rather than just describing it verbally. Use the category Accessibility on your post so that it shows up in the right category in the navigation.
