These are great points to consider if you're remotely interested in accessibility. To put this into context for my fellow designers; making your work even a little bit more accessible makes you a better one. Take what works, leave the rest. PS. don't be alarmed by the github url... it's an article!

I set out to write a quick Happy New Year message and reflect on the state of design. But the questions I’ve heard over the past year aren’t small talk. Here’s what’s on your mind, what’s on mine, and how we move forward. #ux #ui www.linkedin.com/posts/jonath...

There are so many creative ways to promote your product or service. Take advergaming for instance, where brands integrate their message into games. Example: Wendy's made their mascot into a playable character in Fortnite, Minecraft, and more. Check this: vimeo.com/544368841
