[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Pattern testing

Good job, Renae!

I know I would not be good at that!

I like the idea of working with the kids to make things!

Braille drawings to promote braille!

I think this would be a great opportunity for us to not only get access to a
pattern and test it, but let designers know that blind crafters want to
assist in making their patterns accessible.  I know I could reach out to the
designers I have done work for in the past and I think they would love it.

 

Thanks,

ReNae

During Tuesday's class, ReNae mentioned that she has done some pattern
testing.  That's when designers have people test their pattern before it
gets published.  I think it would be great to have some blind people testing
patterns and giving designers feedback.  For instance, ReNae told the
designer that the photos showing how to put the project together didn't work
for her, and the designer then included a description of how to do it. 

 

I'd love to hear how a person can get started with pattern testing, and any
experiences people have with it.  I read a bit on Google, and testers get
the pattern for free, and get to try something different, though there's a
deadline.  And designers want testers with a variety of skill levels, so you
don't have to be the greatest to do it.

I think it would be an interesting and useful project to explore.
