Accessible Design: Which everyone do you mean?
What does diversity even mean?
What about ability? expertise?
• blind • low-vision • hearing • mobility/dexterity
(fine motor control, low-strength, single-handedness)
• cognitive (attention, memory-related, literacy,
routines/predictability) • vestibular issues • speech
3 types of relationships

Explicit, implicit and content based relationships.
Low-vision challenges
Windows High Contrast Mode: background images disappear.
Low-vision tip: review your interfaces in High Contrast Mode to look for loss of functionality or meaning.
Group closely related items.
PRINCIPLE OF PROXIMITYRelated items should be together.

Not sure?
Use layout to create the right chunks.Use pattern of use to lead the eye to action.
Examine your interfaces using the straw test to unearth layout and design challenges for people with low-vision.
Mobility and dexterity challenges
To help ensure accessibility, provide multiple means to achieve the same goal.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who
lived with her mother in a little cottage, on the
edge of a large, dark forest. This little girl
often wore a pretty little red cloak with her little
red hat, and for this reason people called her Little
Red Riding Hood.
What’s the impact of aging on what we do?
What’s the impact of culture on what we do?
Edward T. Hall
Beyond Culturehigh and low context cultures
High Context Culture Low Context Culture
collectivist individualist
group empowerment self empowerment
authoritarian style information delivery
exploratory
accuracy valued over speed speed valued over accuracy
context is implied based on being in that culture
context is explicit and self contained
Of course, this is a continuum and not a dichotomy.
