How can information and content be crafted for people with a range of cognitive and physiological impairments?
We offer a warm, engaging session as we come together in uncertain times at the RSA Virtual Coffeehouse. Everybody including both Fellows and non-Fellows is welcome to take part. Share stories, ideas and learn something new together. This is one of the first RSA Virtual Coffeehouse Conversations. Over the coming months, we hope to host a variety of conversations in this series. The event time will be split between talks from speakers and an engaging Q&A session.
As many of us transition into purely digital workplaces, making content accessible to a wide audience is more important than ever.
How do we ensure that people with dyslexia or visual impairment can feel empowered?
Logos, typography, typeface and layout help to deliver emotional qualities, and address the functional challenges that diverse audiences present, be that age groups, Welsh or Gaelic speakers as well as English, or people with a range of cognitive or physiological impairments. The BBC’s David Bailey, Gareth Ford-Williams and Bruno Maag FRSA will present and discuss the emotional, functional and technical accessibility needs the BBC has and how they are met. This will be an opportunity for you to learn how to better adapt a project to make it accessible to more people.
