I love you so much, darling 🥹❤️‍🔥

This was an excellent webinar. Thanks so much for sharing!

"The most important thing that I think the regulations have done, is they have shifted us from a reactive approach to accessibility to a proactive approach.” —Beth Valentine, Equity Compliance & Education Manager, University of North Dakota

“The thing that managers and leadership care about with Universal Design is that it is more cost efficient. You are not doing that rework of retrofitting after-the-fact, which is way more expensive.” —Jennifer Broadus, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Manager, King County, WA

I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope what you find next is fulfilling and fun. ❣️

I wish more people understood the value of good document design, especially when using a tool like InDesign. So much time and money is invested in remediating documents, instead of addressing the root of the problem.

InDesign can be tough to work with, but my students are really taking the time to learn how it works and do things right. I can’t tell you how proud I am. Now I’m just sad that the semester is almost over!

Their final project is creating a portfolio of their designs from this class as an accessible, interactive PDF.

We’re approaching this just like a web design project: starting with good content, adding structure, then using visual styling to reflect that structure.

Thank you for sharing! That’s awesome!

Thanks so much!!

I told the students that they could use an alternative as long as they cleared it with me first. So far, everyone has opted to stick with Adobe because it's free to use on the classroom computers. I'm teaching this online next semester, though, so I imagine it'll come up then!

My students went above and beyond with their Photoshop and Illustrator projects. When we return from spring break, I’m going to teach them everything I know and love about InDesign. I’m so proud of what they’ve done so far and excited to see what they’ll create next. 🎊

Accessibility is not an overly complicated topic, nor a barrier for creativity. Accessible design is following best practices that benefit everyone. Why teach composition without discussing reading order? Or typography without readability?
