Accessible Design: How to Design Graphics for All. Accessible design is all about commitment to inclusiveness - ensuring that the image communicates well and is easy to use by everyone regardless of their ability. When graphics are accessible, they have the potential to be communicated to a larger population - people with visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, or others. Here are the basics of creating graphics for everyone. 1. Use High Contrast Colors One of the first considerations would be color contrast. There is high contrast between the text and the background of the information, which enables those with low vision or color blindness to read this information easily. Tools such as Contrast Checker can also be used to verify how visible your designs are for the accessibility standards. 2. Provide Text Alternatives Alt for icons and images is a simple text description that says what the image conveys or represents. A screen reader will render to visually impaired viewers the information contained in this graphic. Short but sufficient as a text size to make this short regarding the intent or message conveyed by this image, so it is not cluttered with so much text on the page. 3. Include in the Consideration of Fonts Used and Chosen Size Use clear and readable fonts. Avoid font styles that are too elaborate or ornate, especially for those with dyslexia or cognitive impairments. Use large text size consistently and keep lines of text properly spaced to facilitate readability. 5. Avoid Overuse of Color When presenting, avoid depending only on color as a determinant that is, don't give a "no" color and a "yes" color and rely instead on colors with names, signs or other patterns/shapes for ease in transmitting the information that is being conveyed 5. Check for Accessibility Testing is the key to accessibility. You can use accessibility checking tools to test your graphics usability for people with all types of disabilities. You can also get real-world insight from people with disabilities who will give you their feedback. By these principles, designers can produce graphics that are engaging, inclusive, and accessible for everyone. Accessible design creates an inclusive environment for anybody to enjoy and understand the visuals you have created without respect to ability.
