[New-york-news] Reminder: Tactile Design Workshop Tomorrow

[Chancey Fleet]

Tactile Tactics: Best Practices for Nonvisual Design
Join Annie Leist, Disability Inclusion Associate at the NYC Department of
Cultural Affairs, for a workshop designed to get you thinking about how to
design
effective and meaningful tactile graphics and models to engage people with
and without vision. Explore the differences between visual and tactile
experience,
and learn how to use that awareness to thoughtfully plan, create, and
select successful tactile representations and objects to serve constituents
and engage
audiences. You’ll also review strategies on how to implement the tactiles
well, and how context can impact a tactile’s meaning. Please register by
emailing
