Back to Graphic Design.

When reading the text: An Answer to the question: “What is Enlightenment?”, by the Philosopher Immanuel Kant, I found the copy I had hard to follow. I felt Inspired to think of ways I could adapt the text to make the it “Dyslexia friendly”.

I observed how a lot of dyslexia people gravitated o more creative fields, which is what inspired a huge part of my design.

Circles. I used coloured circles in my designs as indicators to where you can find that word in the glossary for example, A-F words are highlighted with a yellow circle and can be found on the yellow page in the glossary.

A-F = Yellow 
G-L = Green  
M-S = Blue  
T-Z = Pink.

Each colour circled correlated with the coloured  card where you can find the definition to the word you are having difficulty understanding. I printed the glossary on thicker loose sheets of card so that the reader can also use them as a further tool to help aid their reading by placing under the line you're reading as a guide, as dyslexic reader often have difficulty reading because they find they get lines mixed up and lose their place.

These pages glossary pages (cards) could also function as a bookmark.
