Overview
There are three reasons to integrate universal color into everything we create as artists and designers.
Legal Responsibilities: The Americans With Disabilities Act requires places of public accommodation, educational institutions, government, and federally funded organizations to comply with regulations designed to ensure equal access to all.
Design Citizenship: It is our moral imperative to be inclusive and qualitatively equitable in everything we create as artists and designers.
Digital Media Availability: We now have digital video that we can use to simultaneously deliver information to persons of all sensory abilities.
