Slides: The Role of Design in Accessibility — a11yTO Meet-up
Last night I drove up to Toronto, braving concurrent matches from two of their local sporting clubs, parking in oblivion, navigating a maze of progressive rings of fencing, sneaking into the venue via a propped service door, and presented on the role of design in accessibility. It was a code-light talk, which was a novel change of pace for me.
The slides follow. If they do not appear, view them directly at SlideShare. Owing to recent events, I want to explicitly state that no, you do not have permission to clip any of these slides, crap as they are, and use them in your own slides.

I always leave #a11yTO meetups with many practical takeaways. Tonight: @aardrian talking about my fav – accessible visual design! Typography, structure, documentation, colour, contrast, etc. Thanks again to the organisers!
Learning about Designing for Accessibility with @a11yTO and @aardrian tonight. A lot of amazing design tips to take home. The pics are just a few highlights.

Great turnout for my #a11yTO talk tonight, and good job by the police on crowd control.
