Further Education/Public Access Centres Access Materials
Written material both on screen and on the printed page needs to be accessible in order for individuals to be able to extract information they require from the text.
Word processing and desktop publishing packages allow us to create eye catching content which can be often inaccessible to many readers due to over design, over use of colours and typefaces. But content can both look great and be accessible, by creating documents with a clear structure and layout and using a clear typeface, we can produce documents that will not just be eye catching but much more readable.
The aim of this project is to highlight some of the issues that can prevent text and online content from being accessible.
