Petition the PM for accessibility
Following on from the good pro-active work by Dan Champion and Bruce Lawson to try and make Government and its departments / agencies accountable for the vast amounts of money they waste on poor, ill conceived websites that fail any kind of standard (Yes you, DTI), Ian Fenn has setup an e-petition at the 10 Downing Street site asking the PM to ensure that websites launched by government comply with WCAG.
Please sign it and join us. With so many Local Authorities making the effort through genuine desire or possible arm bending, the time is right for the high profile government sites to be held to task and pull up their bloody socks.
Iranian Typography
From the ever brilliant PingMag, please enjoy ‘Iranian Typography Now‘. Wonderful work and great article.
The past few years have been quite exciting for Iranian graphic designers. As Iran’s design gains more international attention, the graphic designers face new challenges and rewards.
The country has a rich history of visual arts and moreover the better part of this heritage consists of calligraphy.
Some of the work highlighted is just beautiful. The work by Mehdi Saeedi, from the “The Blind Owl” typography exhibition is nothing short of eye-opening.
