Diagrams/Infographics

Examination material of the past used graphics that were not engaging and risked candidates unable to translate the content accurately. The following are redesigned so candidates could better associate with.

01 brief

Every examination paper, source booklet, and textbook necessitates the inclusion of corresponding graphics alongside the textual content. The exemplars presented herein were derived either from preliminary sketches provided by the content provider or were produced through the interpretation of the text.

02 accessibility
(WCAG)

The contemporary landscape of publishing has witnessed an increased awareness regarding diverse visual impairments that may impede the reader, along with other considerations such as stress, autism, Asperger's, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, and more.

Internationally acknowledged standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) serve as the benchmark for web accessibility on a global scale. And are also just as relevant to printed products.

To ensure that graphics are legible for a broad audience, I employ tools such as the Color Oracle, Colour Contrast Analyser (CCA) and Color Brewer.
 

* Keen observers may discern variations in the spelling of "colour/color." This discrepancy arises from the geographical origin of the company that developed the program.

CCA is used to check the colours reach a standard...

  • A (lowest)

  • AA (mid-range)

  • AA (highest)

Color Brewer is employed to generate a spectrum of 'safe' colors essential for maps, bar charts, and any other visual elements where distinct colors are needed to delineate elements and ensure visibility.

03 accessible graphics 

The examples provided illustrate the delicate balance between creating visually engaging graphics and ensuring accessibility, with a focus on prioritising the latter as per brief.

Graphics devoid of color still necessitated a thoughtful approach in translating questions into images that candidates could easily comprehend. In the subsequent examples, vehicles were employed to aid candidates in visualising a Pythagorean Theorem question.

04 general
graphics 

The following examples are a wide range of graphics from various subjects such as Maths, Geography and Design Technology that were generated to supplement content.
