Re: Accessibility book cover art

hahaha  well James, we don't all have the eye for 
design that you do. And anyway, Jeff worked for 
IBM for 25 years, which explains some of it.  I 
remember when we assigned an corporate team to a 
kid's toys nonprofit for an early AIR competition 
and the poor NPO thought they were going to get 
lively graphic toy shapes in primary colors but 
ended up with grey and dark blue boxes :(

...and Joe Clark made fun of the fact that 
Maximum Accessibility was printed in large print 
- which, by the way, John Slatin insisted on.

In the meantime, read Jeff's blog and see what 
you think of his ideas about how we should talk 
about accessibility and if the business case has 
relevance (my opinion is, no it does not convince)

Best,
Sharron
