Accessibility, Design Systems, Color Theory, UX
Colour and contrast issues are still THE most common accessibility mistakes, even on the top websites on the internet! And most courses on accessibility never tackle the topic by offering proper solutions, from the point of view of design. Also, there is so much more to contrast than just colour! Typography and layout are essential factors in achieving the right contrast. Yet, no training ever offers any significant insight, only providing obscure references to the guidelines, and incomprehensible algorithms.
Colour and contrast issues are also the easiest – and most fun – accessibility issues to fix. This workshop makes sense of the requirements and shows you how to apply them in a clear, practical, and enjoyable way. You'll learn how to combine the delights of colour and type with accessibility, without sacrificing imagination or creativity. By tackling the number one issue on most websites today, you'll make your designs readable by everyone, compliant with legislation, and far more valuable to your clients or team – all while expanding your marketable skills.
This workshop is for designers, developers, content creators, and anyone who wants to make their work more inclusive without giving up creativity. Whether you work in an agency, in-house, or as a freelancer, you'll leave with practical skills to improve your projects immediately – and with insights that will make you more valuable to your clients, colleagues, and users.
