Digital Signage Accessibility Guidelines
Here are the key accessibility considerations for electronic signage designs, based on general accessibility principles:
Visual Accessibility
Consider text size and contrast: ensure adequate font sizes (typically 16 pt minimum for readability at distance) and high contrast ratios (at least 4.5:1, the WebAIM contrast checker resource is recommended for checking contrast ratios.)
Use simple backgrounds: avoid busy backgrounds that can interfere with text readability.
Use clear typography: use sans-serif fonts and avoid decorative typefaces.
Cognitive Considerations
Consider reading speed: allow sufficient time for content to be read.
Use simple language: use clear, concise messaging.
