This project will look at new ways in which colour is used in Graphic design and how the use of colour can be re-appropriated to suit people who suffer from colour vision deficiency. The purpose of designing with the color deficient in mind is to completely reexamine the existing inconsistent color-designing procedure that tends to increase the number of colors unnecessarily, establish an order of priority for information elements to be conveyed, and create designs that take into account the impressions and psychological effects they may give to the receiver of the information. .

Talking to the professionals...







Today I went to visit the Ophthalmology centre at Stoke Mandaville hospital. My uncle is a consultant and surgeon there and let me shadow him for the day to see how they test people for colour blindness.










This is a detailed hue test called the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test. It requires a person to arrange the hues in order, which then allows the Ophthalmologist to test how colour blind a person is.
