The workshop also featured a presentation from Sightsavers designers Matt Roberts and Andrew Balchin. They shared stats showing how many people in the UK have conditions such as visual impairment, colour blindness or hearing loss, and explained the simple steps that can be taken to make sure visual communications are as accessible as possible for everyone.

The final creative session asked guests to work in groups to come up with creative concepts while also taking accessibility into account.

During his presentation, Matt said: “Design is about more than how it looks. It’s about understanding your audience. Our aim is to share what we know about accessibility, learn from others and promote the message that good design is for everyone.”

Sightsavers social inclusion coordinator Kate Bennell said: “In terms of design, it’s useful to consider the vastness of your audience and making content fit for all of their needs. Accessible design is beneficial for everyone – it does what it’s intended to do in terms of leaving no one behind.”
