Abstract: I wanted to explore possible solutions to accessibility in Art & Design while narrowing my focus specifically towards visual impairments by applying techniques commonly used in printed electronics. I wanted to further showcase the impact of how designers enhance the overall user experience when they choose to center their focus on designing for accessibility.

To tackle accessibility challenges in Art & Design when it comes to visual impairments, I would have to extend Art’s visual foundation to include senses other than sight– tactile and auditory. The final product would then be an interactive art piece that not only is visually appealing to the user, but functions as a sensory board and musical instrument triggered by touch.
