Taskar Center for Accessible Technology

Join us for a graphic journaling night featuring a discussion on content authoring tools!

Blink - UX Research & Design, Western Avenue, Seattle, WA, USA

Content authoring tools are what allow “authors” to produce digital and print content. Given accessible authoring tools, more people are able to tell their own stories and be creators, rather than just spectators or consumers. In addition to making content creation more accessible and inclusive, these technologies have the power to build communities around art, identity, and learning.Join us for a casual night of (non-alcoholic) drinks, snacks, and drawing! Featuring a demonstration and discussion from Amara S., we’ll hear about the tips, tricks, trials, and tribulations of self-publishing graphic novels. Follow along with a pen and paper (or preferred drawing materials), as Amara leads us through some of her design processes. Afterward, attendees will be asked to complete a survey about their experience.S﻿peaker bio:Amara is an artist and designer who has a passion for sequential art — she has contributed illustrations to anthologies, educational workshops, and mural projects. She recently graduated from Seattle Central College with a degree in graphic design, where she focused on accessibility for people with low-vision. Amara enjoys visiting museums and walking with friends in her free time.Arrival at Blink:There is street parking on Western and along Alaskan Way.
