What is “Accessible Design?” What form does it take? And where do we start? So many questions, I know. But all important. Research the thing you are designing find out online what others might have brought up as issues, see if you can hit as many points as you can. If you find you are getting messages or complaints, either see if it can be improved or add it to the knowledge banks for next time.
We, as designers, have a responsibility to make design accessible. As I have a few close people with disabilities in my life it’s always something I try and strive for when designing. Educating ourselves is half the battle, even if we believe in accessible design if our client doesn’t nothing changes. We go in with good intentions, knowing that’s not all it takes, and convincing them from a standpoint of profit. Sometime the client is looking specifically for accessible design, and you just need to push them in the right direction.
Accessibility is not an afterthought, it can't be.
Don’t limit yourself to the stereotypical image of “disabled” it's not always visible and maybe not who you think.
A client might just need help understanding.
In your lifetime, disability is the higher chance not the exception.
