In this accessibility video, Colleen Gratzer shows how to make hyperlinks readable by those using assistive devices. She demonstrates that you aren’t limited to a simple blue underline and that you can really get creative with the design. Whether you’re creating a PDF for download or working with web elements, you can provide accessibility and still retain a fun and distinctive look to your design.
This video is an excerpt from Colleen’s “Designing for Web Accessibility” session at CreativePro’s Design + Accessibility Summit. View the agenda and register for this year’s event at https://creativepro.com/design-accessibility-summit.
