BFA Thesis

Boston University Senior Graphic Design Studio
Spring 2024 Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment (”WHO Vision Impairment and Blindness,” 2018).

What does it mean to be visually impaired? Mild visual impairment is a visual acuity of 20/70, severe impairment (legally blind) is 20/200 and total blindness is 20/400. As someone who is nearsighted and works primarily with typography and form, what does it mean to design for visual accessibility?

My thesis, Envisioning Design: Educating and Making for Visual Accessibility explores an interactive and inclusive design experience for adults to reconnect with their senses through art experiments and play, rediscover their door to creativity, and learn about visual impairment and color blindness.
