Accessibility is vital for inclusivity, especially for persons with disabilities, driving our project, ‘Karatula’. In Manila, many signs are unfriendly to PWDs, with elements like cursive fonts and small sizes. Our team, familiar with poor eyesight, empathizes with the challenges of colorblindness and low vision.
We believe in harnessing the creativity of Filipino signage designers to enhance the lives of individuals with low vision impairment and color blindness.
Hi there! I’m Ern, a website designer at Karatula. My job is to create a user-friendly and accessible online experience for sign makers, keeping in mind the needs of those with color blindness. I translate complex design principles into clear and intuitive interfaces, ensuring everyone can navigate Karatula with ease. This means using high-contrast color palettes, incorporating accessibility tools, and prioritizing clear information architecture.
Hello, I’m Jenica! My job in Karatula is to research and collate information about low vision and colorblindness, and how to make signages more accessible for people affected by them.
I create informative illustrations that aim to help signage designers further visualize how important each design element is when it comes to creating signs for accessibility.
