Milk: Tangible Labels, Clear Choices
ACCESSIBILITY RESEARCH, BOOK DESIGN
Milk has a long and established history as a staple in the American diet, but its packaging is not fully accessible to customers with visual impairments.
Through my research, I investigated the main barriers that milk packaging poses to the visually impaired over the course of about a month.
I wrote and designed a forty-page book based on my research process and findings.
