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. .

design ideas for booklet

My initial requirement for the booklet that will accompany the wardrobe is that it is colourblind friendly.

Because there are different types of colour blindness I want to make the leaflet colours interchangeable.

Using Black as the main colour (as all people with colour vision deficiency can determine other colours from black), I want to create a laser cut book that has an interchangeable background colour. The text will all be cut using a laser cutter, inspiration from this invitation invite I have found for a fashion show...








Another design idea would be to use the layout for the Ishihara colour blind test book. this will allow me to use some laser cutting but will also let me include diagrams, photography etc...
