How APCA Changes Accessible Contrast — With Andrew Somers by @creativeboostco medium.com/p/how-apca-cha…

「APCA」は「WCAG2」と異なる方法でコントラストを計算。視覚の知覚特性を定量化。次期ガイドライン「WCAG3」に採用予定とのこと。数値と人間の感覚のギャップが埋まって良い。 開発者Andrew Somersへのインタビュー、勉強になりすぎる ↓

big news for font freaks: Times New Roman is being phased out at the State Department & replaced by Calibri. Secretary Blinken sent a cable to all embassies today directing staff not to send him any more papers with Times New Roman. Subject: "The Times (New Roman) are a-Changin"

@merylkevans Clients often want the logo to scream at people off the page, LOL, to the point it gets more attention than, say, the main heading.

@creativeboostco Why would making logo bigger be a bad thing? Some avatars are so small ... no one can see what it is, for example.

Besides "make the logo bigger," there are a few requests that make us designers cringe. I thought it would fun to round up some of them and commiserate or get a good laugh. What is something you never want to hear from a client? #designerslife #clientrequest #clientsayings

@JohnstonBLG Good one!

@creativeboostco Would you be willing to do the work "for exposure?"

@tejones Truth!

@creativeboostco urgent is a relative term.... but chances are they haven't thought about the content or even what to say.

Can you relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Client: “I have an urgent project.” ⏳ Designer: “OK. Send me the content and I’ll send you an estimate.” 2 weeks later… Crickets 🤷🏽‍♀️ Can you relate? What’s your biggest client pet peeve? 👇🏻 #designer #clients #Webdesign #Accessibility #webdeveloper
