A11y for Web Designers #2: Color

Sep 12 2010

Time for the second part in the articles about a11y for web designers. In response to the comment we received to our first article I felt a need to start by making a couple of things clear.

I guess most of you have either read it, read about it or at least seen a photo of this book. I’m also naturally assuming that you are as much of a geek as I am. I mean why else would you be here reading this blog? Exactly. So do we really need another review on this book? Maybe not. I mean you can read about it here, here and here. And you can order it here.
But screw that. I’m gonna review it anyway if not for other reasons than the photo I took of the cover. Hmmpff.
