The second part of our research project is Practice based research there fore we have to create a number of artifacts in order to test and evaluate them. My research project is based on Accessibility. therefore for my first artifact i wanted to create a site that was totally unaccessible. i started by looking at the Accessibility requirements i figured if i got an idea of the requirements then i could do the opersite in order to create an unaccessible website.
so this is what i did
- Used a table
- Used lots of content and lots of options within the same page
-Used lots of different focus points on the same page
- Used lots of unnecessary images and graphics
- Added lots of Links and Rollovers
- Used very small text
- Used small text for headings
- Used brightly coloured text such as red on white, orange, blue and green
- No "image tag" descriptions on images
- No contrast between text colour and background colours e.g medium blue text on a light blue background
- Added flash
Doing all of these things enabled me to create what looked like the worst website in the world. i got to the stage when i couldn't even look at it. But it had the desired affect and will be a perfect example to test the rest of my artifacts against.
