Accessibility throughout the media


When it comes to creating media it is very important to make sure you are aware that not everyone may be able to access it due to a disability they may have. So trying and make it accessible to as many different people as possible is always a good way to go around things. This can include people with Dyslexia, Colour Blindness and  people with no understanding of the language used. If you are creating something that is important and is audience facing the singling out any of these can be a breach to the, “Disability Law UK’ ‘Equality Act 2010’ this can have serious consequences. 

Making media that does not appeal to people with colour blindness this means that those people will find it incredibly hard to read or see what you have created. 

Dyslexia is also a disability that you have to be aware of when creating certain types of media. Type is something that can increase the difficulty of reading by a large amount for a Dyslexic person if the wrong type or format is used.

When it comes to a language barrier, you may find it very hard to produce something that the person can understand because you have to do a bit more than the others. Pictures help very much for these types of people, also symbols can be used if the person knows how to read them. When creating some type of media you may have to make something completely new based solely on someone with a language barrier.
