The primary objectives of this project were to:Introduce a high contrast theme to improve accessibility and inclusivity.Ensure consistency with the existing light and dark themes while addressing specific accessibility needs.Enhance readability and usability across all product screens and components.
I started with thorough analysis of existing light and dark themes, alongside evaluation of complex screens within the product.Identified areas where theme would have the most significant impact on usability and accessibility.Identified adaptable color variables to inform creation of a new palette optimized for enhanced readability.Adherence to WCAG standards highlighted the critical role of contrast ratios for accessibility.This approach particularly benefits individuals with visual impairments, aligning with inclusive design principles.
Developed high-fidelity mockups showcasing the high contrast theme across various screens and components of the product.Collaborated closely with developers to ensure seamless implementation of the high contrast theme after finalizing the mockups.
