Notes from My meeting with Dyslexia Tutor.
My new tutor (to help with my work) went through the research I've done so far and suggested some things i should try and do to make myself feel prepared for the deadline.
- Research Accessibility, this will lead you to your audience.
- Researching what the London Underground already offers neuro diverse passengers will contribute to your research.
- The British Dyslexia Association (BDA) is best resource for statistics and dyslexia info.
- Research dyslexia resources that have been designed for passengers already-if any.
- Look at Dyslexia fonts for your designs and PDF’s.
- Think about background as 'off white' colour (buff), think about finish you would have (matt or gloss), what colors (colour pallet)? what shape? overall style? Could look into dyslexia colours.
- Who are my competitors and why? What do i have that they don't?
- We shall get writing the PDF around end of June. If we use Google Docs we can both edit the document whilst in our sessions.
- Check out this interesting Piece on dyslexia transport. - https://www.mylondon.news/news/transport/passenger-complains-new-tfl-london-31375966
- Look at Keyword examples: transport + dyslexia, trains + dyslexia, underground trains + dyslexia, Europe and other places (Sweden and Holland tend to do things better for ND people), transport + neurodivergence.
To do Created during meeting (before next week):
- Research pop up stands.
- Experiment with a design strategy.
- Update blog.
- Audience profile considerations.
- Keep researching everything mentioned during the meeting.
