Graphics and visual design wanted

shawn_slh edited this page Jun 5, 2019 · 17 revisions

This is a draft list of possibilities. Anyone is welcome to add ideas, or send them to Shawn to add.

Background WAI graphics:

WAI - new media resource

Level: mendium
Priority: medium-high
Contact: Shawn

For new media resource, develop conceptual images for each element (captions, transcript, etc.) -- like business case and planning & managing and tips pages.

W3C - spec stack

Level: high
Priority: high
Contact: Judy

spec stack — Update content and fix accessibility.

WAI - components

Level: complex
Priority: ?
Contact: Shawn

Note: Volunteer made these into SVG, who is self-identified non-expert in graphics or SVG. Would be good to have QA check and maybe polishing.

Possibly update the components images.

  • Visual style old and not match new website.
  • They do have recognition, and that should be considered.
  • Content & user agents & authoring tools are no longer so clearly distinct - so possibly don't even want those same images. (SLH: not keen to open up that issue right now)

WAI - misc site images

other page link icons

Level: easy
Priority: high-medium
Contact: Shawn

Previously had icons indicating links off the WAI main site (e.g., to /TR/ pages), and links off the W3C site. They were kinda ugly. [@@link to them] Current design ones are way too strong. Need to decide if we still want both indications (and also what the alt text is).

Existing design spec [@@link]

Planning & Policies Overview page

Level: medium
Priority: low
Contact: Shawn

Idea from Josh for overview page: "Actually those three (very useful sections) could do with little graphics, they could be put in their own box out with a First Aid graphic, a planning type graph, some guy with a chart - and a picture of some people."
