Digital media is consumed daily, but it is often not designed with accessibility in mind. This session will review three simple changes that you can apply to ensure equitable access to information for all. You’ll leave this session with resources to support you as you incorporate accessibility into your future digital media designs.

In this session, you will::

Select accessible fonts and typography when creating digital media assets.
Evaluate previously created digital media assets and modify them to make them more accessible.
Demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity by advocating for more accessible digital media design in the workplace.
