I am researching for certification as an accessibility professional. I learn of all the assistive tech there is for people with disabilities. Then I wonder how hard it would be to switch my MacBook's main cursor to point as if I were holding my mouse in my left hand. It requires a 3rd party software and is not supported by Apple. And yet there is screen reading tech VoiceOver built into the OS. WHY NOT A LEFTY CURSOR?????

I found a resource for Accessible User Experience during my studying. Check this one out, if UX UI is your job. https://www.texthelp.com/resources/digital-accessibility-guide/accessible-ux/

Today, hours on prelim. taxes. Because I haven't got my "geese" in a row I will be hunting for more receipts and forms. And tonight, more colorways for the cheater quilt on Spoonflower. I should tell you about that on another post when I have three colors of the same pattern online.

I did it! Today I paid for membership in the IAAP which is the International Association of Accessibility Professionals. I'll get a badge soon, and membership benefits include access to their archived knowledge base of webinars so I can better study for certification.

Tonight I was studying for my accessibility professional certification. The numbers tell the story. When I teach a11y, I say the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to making the biggest impact in a11y is color contrast. Why? 300 million people globally have color vision deficiency. Compare this to the 3% of people with epilepsy who have photosensitive epilepsy. That is approx. 1.5 million people. UX strategy for reducing risk of seizure is to limit all flashing media & give a pause/stop button for any autoplay video content. UX strategy for low vision/colorblindess is to ensure proper color contrast ratio in text. Your takeaway: When starting any UX/UI project, run your color hex codes through a color contrast checker and be the authority for what color text can go on what color background.

Designing with accessibility in mind starts with good color contrast on text. UX designers can pre-make a little reference chart using brand colors at the start of a new project, like my example here. I've done an experiment about what text color we can safely use on the Warpcast purple at different sizes. At headline size, we can use white and grey all the way down to #999999 and pass the WCAG AA standard. However, at normal body copy size, only white can be used.

GM, everyone! My artist name is Yolantis, and I've been working on websites professionally since 2020. I build front-end, do graphics, user interface stuff, and I specialize in accessibility. This is my year to get certified, in fact. Follow along with me as I study for the CPACC, which is 'Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies,' from the IAAP. I have tips and tricks for all you UX researchers and designers interested in accessibility!

GM! just say gm for gm sake. I heard I'm not supposed to let my feed be composed of frame after frame of the stuff I do on Rodeo. This weekend I worked on manual, not AI, digital art and uploaded several patterns on a fabric POD account I've got. Entered a contest for stripes. You know, the usual.
