Hi all
I don't have AMD, but I regularly produce literature for people with AMD and other vision impairments. My job is to produce materials for people considering a clinical trial - posters, brochures etc.
I'm not here to promote any trials or anything like that, I just want to make sure that I represent you and do what's best for you.
I think I have a good understanding about font type and size and contrast etc, best practices for printing - but please feel free to make sure I understand 😀 What I really want to know, is about visual imagery – images of people, social situations, conceptual images depicting AMD or people living with AMD. In general – is it beneficial, encouraged, not helpful, pointless?
I ask, because of the varying degrees of central vision loss - do I design around a blank centre, for example - assuming that you use your peripheral vision... do I keep it to just high contrast text?
What boils your blood when you have to read or look at literature?
In advance, thanks so much! I'd really appreciate your help in communicating better, visually, with you and people just like you, with AMD.
Dave
