GOV312L – Elections

Start: Aug 28, 2024

Staff Guidance: De’sha

Client: GOV312L EL (Albertson, Theriault)

Description: Updating GOV312 course graphics with a new image of the professors

• Canvas Dashboard
• Canvas Homepage Banner
• Course Pre-roll

I received feedback and decided to add a gray gradient overlay/map so the focus was on the course name. I also edited the Professor’s shirt to be less blue so there is no confusion about the class leaning more toward one political party over another.

Basic Training: Web Accessibility Standards

Activity 1: Find 2-3 infographics. Examine how well they abide by web accessibility. Note if there’s anything you would have changed/remediated (low contrast colors, confusing layout, tiny text?). If they seem pretty accessible, explain why.

Activity 2: Visit some sites in your recent browser history to run one of these automated accessibility checkers to scan for especially salient issues. Jot some of these down and take screenshots, sharing any thoughts you have. Pick a site to help remediate.
