Check color contrast in a working interface
Audit text and interface states through actual foreground-background pairs, then repair weak combinations without relying on color alone or treating one passing sample as a complete accessibility review.

18 practical guides
Write alt text for artwork in context
Choose image alternatives by the purpose of an artwork image, its surrounding text, and the reader's task, using concise examples without inventing visual details or replacing needed long descriptions.
Run a keyboard accessibility audit of a creative tool
Walk through a reference-board task using keyboard input, recording reachability, operation, visible focus, order, and escape routes while distinguishing a useful check from a complete accessibility evaluation.
Design focus indicators that survive real backgrounds
Plan a visible keyboard focus treatment across buttons, links, image cards, overlays, and sticky regions, then check its continuity through a realistic task instead of relying on a component sample.
Design reflow for enlarged content
Adapt an exhibition guide for narrow views and enlarged text by preserving content, order, control access, and relationships, then investigate overflow rather than hiding it.
Make touch targets easier to activate
Audit a workshop card's interactive areas, spacing, labels, and hit regions, then improve activation without confusing visual icon size with the actual target or ignoring defined exceptions.
Announce status changes without moving focus unnecessarily
Plan visible and assistive-technology feedback for saved references, filter updates, and failed actions, balancing useful announcements with focus continuity and avoiding repeated or misleading messages.
Design form labels and instructions that remain available
Build a workshop-registration form with persistent labels, grouped questions, useful hints, clear requirements, and programmatic relationships, then check the task without relying on placeholders or proximity alone.
Create useful captions for a design tutorial
Plan and review captions for a short paper-making lesson, including speech, relevant sound, timing, speaker identification, terminology, and unobstructed presentation without assuming automatic transcription is finished work.
Design a reduced-motion version of a creative interface
Adapt a reference-gallery interaction for motion-sensitive readers by separating essential state changes from decorative movement, respecting preferences, and preserving feedback when transitions are reduced.
Give an arts article a useful heading structure
Organize an exhibition guide with meaningful headings and programmatic relationships so its outline supports scanning and navigation while visual styling remains free to express the publication's character.
Build a skip link into the navigation experience
Plan a skip-to-content route for an arts publication, including a meaningful target, visible focus, repeated navigation, sticky headers, and verification that keyboard movement continues in the intended place.
Design sign-in without unnecessary memory barriers
Review a creative-service sign-in flow for password-manager support, paste, code entry, clear recovery, and usable alternatives while coordinating requirements with the team responsible for account security.
Write link text that names the destination
Improve links in an arts reading list by naming their purpose, preserving useful context, distinguishing files and actions, and checking repeated labels without relying on surrounding visual layout alone.
Make form errors understandable and reachable
Connect error descriptions, fields, summary links, focus behavior, and preserved answers in a workshop form, then test the correction route with keyboard and assistive technology.
Preserve meaningful reading order in flexible layouts
Design a workshop page whose content sequence remains coherent across wide layouts, narrow views, keyboard navigation, and assistive technology, then inspect visual reordering that hides a structural mismatch.
Test text spacing without breaking the interface
Review an arts publication with user-adjusted text spacing, looking for clipping, overlaps, fixed heights, hidden controls, and lost relationships while preserving content rather than forcing one typographic setting.
Design timeouts that protect a person's work
Plan workshop-booking expiry through clear timing, available extensions, saved answers, honest capacity rules, and safe recovery, distinguishing security or inventory constraints from avoidable pressure.
