Matt,
Not all blind folks eschew graphics on their sites. The EASI site
was made and is maintained by two blind guys, yet these guys were
thoughtful enough of graphical folks to add graphics to their site. See:
http://www.rit.edu/~easi and
especially http://www.rit.edu/~easi/ak12/k12.htm for a nice example of how
folks who can no longer see choose to make their site more appealing and
attractive. No, they did not "illustrate" in the sense we are discussing
here, but included graphics as "eye candy" .... Moving these two guys
towards illustrating instead of just decorating is a matter of telling them
it's good for the LD kids.
Anne
