Tutorial 1 notes
• Eduardo advised that in his research, motion was not recommended in icon design focussed on improving accessibility
• José – simplified the toolbox in Adobe, can this expand to other tools? Can it be more complex?
• Adobe software monopoly discussed, pricing means majority of users catered for are sighted
• Is bespoke toolbox design achievable? Will we alienate one community if we work with another?
• Abbie – conversely, the development of technology has adversely the affected accessibility
• Beatrice – project is functional, recommends ally-ship and approaching the community we are focusing on to develop the enquiry and inform the design. Community-specific testing
• José – WACOM connection? Example from mark’s experiments, practical consideration in a week
• Abbie – recommend narrowing it down either ICONS, NAVIGATION or APATHY (Adobe issue), we’re asking the right questions.
Follow up meeting with Harry and Jane, with Abbie – agreed to approach various practitioners of low sight or connected to the community, to provide user led feedback. Also started sharing references for written piece.
