As a lot of folks are posting information about protests from Twitter screenshots, I’d like to remind us that if your post does not include an image description, it is not done. If you are reblogging, please search the notes for an ID, or write one yourself. Image descriptions should be standard. 

I am not an expert in the best format for image descriptions (feel free to correct me if you are) but a basic template for a Tweet can look like this: 

[ID: A tweet by Name (@Name) that says, “ABCDE.” This tweet was made on DATE.]

Writing Journal 11/4

In the articles, 7 things Every Designer Needs to Know about Accessibility by Jesse Hausler and Accessibility Guidelines for UX Designers by Avinash Kaur both talk about accessibility and making things easier for many different people on web pages. It is pretty cool to see some of the details that websites have to make it just as easy to navigate, read and understand for people who may have problems with other things in life. One being, Consistent Navigation in a web site, you don't want to be lost on a website when you are trying to look for something. I find it very useful and efficient if I am lost on a website and there is something that can navigate me to the right spot. And one thing that I found interesting was that in the article by Avinash Kaur, said about how you cant have content that flashes more than 3 times per second unless it is really small so that it cannot cause seizures. And another thing that I found was cool was the color contrasting for people with low vision and difficulty reading the text. Also, they said about different things that are like touch screens for phones, laptops, etc need to be a certain length/size (9mm wide and 9mm high). The reason they do this is for people who have mobility impairments. It is really unique how these websites can adapt things for people who may have trouble seeing something or using something so that it can be easier for them to access and navigate there way through the website.

I used visual and linguistic for my models. I used visual to show the reader what I am talking about. And I used linguistic to get my point across in my own words.
