Background

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2022 National Meeting & Expo took place on-site in San Diego, CA and online virtually in March 2022. The global chemistry event attracted over 12,000 chemists, chemical engineers,
researchers, and industry decision makers—a 57% increase over Spring 2021 attendance.

CSG Creative Art Director Courtney Lopes created the event visual identity and brand for the Spring 2022 Meeting. Afterwards, I conducted web accessibility testing and assembled guidelines into a sharable infographic. Using the results of my testing, I then designed 28x digital signs to ensure they were easy to read. The result: 100%-web accessible digital signs, PowerPoint templates, and registration, housing, and virtual portal graphics.

Making Signage Easy-to-Read

with WCAG Accessibility Testing

Every ACS social media graphic must pass the web accessibility color contrast test. These web standards, established by WCAG, ensures user readability. The standards include a minimum color contrast level between text and its background; font-size appropriate to the color contrast level; and descriptive alt tag text.

While ACS is not my only client that adheres to WCAG’s web accessibility standards, they do request the highest number of web-accessible graphics. They prefer testing using WebAIM’s tool here.
