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. .

An Iphone outcome

I have decided that the best way to realise this project would be to create a useful Iphone application based on the idea of helping the colourblind shop for clothes and organise their wardrobe.

From reading articles about the colourblind needing help with such minor things as choosing matching socks, to not clashing colours when choosing an outfit, I want to create an application that allows the user to take a picture of the garment while shopping which will not only reveal which colour the garment is but will also allow the user to match it to other garments from their wardrobe and/or other garments whilst shopping.

This application will be a replacement to needing another person to assist on a shopping trip.


Now I just need to find out if it is possible to achieve, if not I will create the same idea but through a website.
