1/10 Accessibility in Design

I am dyslexic. Dyslexia is a disability that affects 1 in 10 people in the United States, and 15-20% of people have symptoms of dyslexia. 

As a dyslexic graphic designer, I have made work that is inaccessible to myself for most of my college experience. So, I wanted to create a project that brought accessibility to light and showed designers how to make their work more accessible for people with disabilities like dyslexia.
This video shows a few examples of my experiences trying to read as a dyslexic person. 
These posters provide information on how to make design more accessible, as well as featuring text, images, and color that are accessible to not only dyslexic people, but also colorblind people.
