- 2. Tactile Graphics - Process • Analyzing the originals, and extracting the actual information • Understanding improvements that can be made make it available in a tactile format. • Using labelling, legends and hatching to make it even more accessible. • Making visual shapes into tactile shapes. • Following standards and specifications provided by clients and agencies (BANA, CBA)
- 3. Factors influencing Tactile Graphics • We will consider the following areas while developing the Tactile Graphics • Basic design principles - simplify, formalize, get rid of clutter • Time to read - will the student get across the information in a reasonable time? • Supporting information – with text explanation. • Space on the sheet – affected by finger-spacing, title, key and the diagram.

Editor's Notes
- #6: Dedicon project samples
- #7: simplify, formalize, get rid of clutter will the student get across the information in a reasonable time? will it take a lot of extra text to explain the graphic, and would it therefore be more helpful if it was all text? can you fit the necessary tactile information into the space you have available, thinking about finger-spacing, title, key and the diagram together?
