New Directions in Readability and Accessibility

All the speakers in the session


The presentation was extremely useful and included several tips that you as a web designer can apply when building a successful website. Successful website means being accessible for different audiences and keeping in mind basic rules and studies can help you in achieving the best results. 


Basic rules in making your website accessible depends on knowing your clients' basic needs in terms of accessing the content on your website, such as: 

 
 

COLOUR BLINDNESS 

 

Not everyone sees the same colour scheme on your website. There are plenty of people who will struggle with certain colours or colour combinations. Knowing how it works and making sure you are familiar with the basic rules when choosing colours for your website helps to make it usable for your audience. 

 
 

PDF ON YOUR WEBSITE 

 
 

Plenty of pdfs on most websites have no tags which makes it impossible for readers with low sight to access the website content. The pdfs without tags they see on the website, or any other content are appeared blurred. 

 Putting a tag on pdfs solves this problem, it makes pdfs readable for people with impaired vision. 

Many organisations do not put this fact into considerations which leads to losing the potential clients. 

 

Also, there is a link to find out more how to put a tag on your pdf 

 

 
 

READABILITY  
 

 

Applying digital rules help readers to focus on reading. Therea is lots of readers with dyslexia and even space between lines can make it difficult to absorb the content you have created, which makes the outcome you are trying to reach with it very poor. 

Digital lines are a great tool you can consider applying for accessing your content. It highlights the line you are reading and helps to stay focused. 

Especially useful tool and something to keep in mind when creating your UL/UX design. 

FONTS 
 

Different age groups read various fonts differently. Knowing your audience can help applying the proper and suitable fonts when building your website.  

 

 
 

This presentation is especially useful in terms of learning basic rules of UX and UL in CMS and was a fantastic addition to overall experience when it comes to building a successful website. 

The most important idea in the session was to emphasis the idea of knowing your audience when creating your content as the outcome that you would like to achieve with your content depends on the Persona you created in pre-production stage.

I am from Moscow, Russia, but have been living in Ireland for the last 20 years. Studying at The Third Level was always my dream, but I had to wait for the right moment.

Hope you will enjoy my blog and I will learn how to do it properly. I am a very creative person and have lots of hobbies, not sure whether it is a good or bad thing ;) My main hobby is learning new things, that is probably why CDM was my choice. I love photography and believe I am pretty good at this.  I do commercial photoshoots from time to time and love working with models and creative make-up artists.  Web design and everything connected to it as well are my favourite things.

Project Design Document           I would like to present my first  Project  Design Document for the Multimedia Module  that is aimed to help me to be able to prepare a well  organised  plan and get me ready when it comes to  start developing my first game      Why do we need to create Project Design  Document?   Preparing all the documentations ready before you start designing your game  is normally thought to be the most boring part of Game Design, even  game designers mention it in their tutorials, but it does not have to be. The well organised  Project Design Document can help you and your team to have a better  understand  what you are expected to. Produce at the end  of the  entire process . It can speed up your  work and  avoid the obstacles that can appe ar during Design.  So,  referring to your Document can be a quite useful tool .       Project Design  Document Sections:     The name of the Game   Location   Back story   Obstacles   Objects   Sound   Goals   Unique aspects
