Inaccessibility for colourblindness is caused by design choices. A design issue, not an engineering issue. The fix is design choices, not engineering workarounds. Filters are inherently exclusionary, they aren't the answer. Fix the design instead of trying to fix people's eyes.

100% this, if your approach to colourblindness is to slap full screen filters on then you're *doing it wrong* and causing more problems that you're solving. The fact that Unreal included filters doesn't mean they should have, or that you should use them. Don't. #gamedev #indiedev

One of the most common complaints I hear about design systems documentation is that it’s too long. “No one wants to read your component essay” “It needs to be shorter or no one’s to read it” But what if I told you the length itself was not the problem? 🧵 1/7

What a wonderful overview of what goes into an accessible design system (tetralogical.com/blog/2022/0…), by @iheni — from accessibility documentation to editorial style guide to screen reader UX and how to document it. #ux #accessibility
The BBC News team have a guide on How to document the screen reader user experience which includes seven steps for designers to consider. There is also an accompanying screen reader UX poster (PDF, 67KB).

My first @GPCarnival at the weekend since moving to the area. Had no idea what to expect, but it was great fun. Perfect for the little one, with vegan waffles and real cider to boot. Already looking forward to next year.
For those at the back: you don't need to compare making something "easy to use" with "your mum could use it". It's an outdated, lazy analogy to insinuate women/mums aren't technology literate. I'm a mum. I also have a computer science degree. And so do many, many others #uxdesign

Same thing here @Nomaticgear You have the discount banner live right now at the top of your website, but the code doesn't work.

@Nomaticgear Is the Boxingday sale still available on the Gomatic site? It’s still showing but when I try to use the code it says it’s not valid.

So googled @piperdownpub, and umm the second option was not what I was expecting.
Hey @Rik_Williams random question, but we've started trying to get speakers in once a month a Just Eat to talk to the design team. I was wondering if you would be interested in giving your IA talk xitter.cf/Rik_Williams/status/14… ? I'd certainly be interested in hearing it.

It's a lunch n' learn session with NHS Moorfields next Friday. It's just an IA primer for allied roles.

Finding a picture for this was harder than writing the talk! Still come along and learn more about building contacts within your business (useful for designers and researchers).

Kind reminder: For everyone who thinks installing the overlay #AccessiBe is a good idea, please reconsider. This tool doesn't help to improve the accessibility of your site at all. For more info, please read: overlayfactsheet.com/

Even if you're fully vaccinated, the CDC still recommends staffing one content designer for every UX designer.
