In Sight: A Guide to Design with Low Vision in Mind Designer: Joost Grootens
"This year the UK's Disability Discrimination Act will come into full force (this) is a ground-breaking resource for working designers in need of understanding of the issues" -Creative Review
In Sight is the first book to address the problems posed by graphic design, product and packaging, and architecture/environment for sensually and physically impaired people worldwide.
This book includes comprehensive guidelines (approved by international authorities on the subject) on how to improve accessibility and take account of the needs of disabled people without compromising design integrity.
In the light of new European and American legislation which demands access to many products and services regardless of disability (the case of the blind man in the US who won substantial damages after he as unable to access an entertainment website is an example), In Sight is an invaluable resource for design professionals and an essential teaching aid.
In Sight has been designed and packaged to enable readers to read explanatary text and look at samples or case studies of designs simultaneously.
