About Assistive Technology 宣傳意識資源

輔助科技係一套為輔助科技數據工具包而製作嘅宣傳意識資源。插畫風格強調共融同無障礙。線性人物描繪咗使用輔助器材嘅人士，突顯呢啲器材喺日常生活入面嘅價值。半圓形框架將人物連繫埋一齊，並且作為開放同參與嘅視覺隱喻。未完整嘅框架寓意共融係一個持續進行嘅過程。作品按照無障礙標準製作咗四本A4手冊、橫額同一個燈箱。

Unique Properties: The style of the illustration is an effective visual representation of the assistive technology data Toolkit because it emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility. The focus on the interior elements and the use of linear components depicting people using assistive technology serve to highlight the significance of recognizing and valuing these devices as integral parts of everyday life. Additionally, the semicircular frame acts as a visual metaphor for openness and participation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Four printed manuals, size A4, 48 pages, Text weight coated finish paper 70 grs for the inside pages. Covers have cardstock 80 grs. Roll up banners: 85 cm x 200 cm. 80mm light box sego.

Production Technology: The main image was created with Illustrator, while the publications were designed using Adobe InDesign, following the guidelines of the international organization for standardization to ensure accessibility for impaired audiences.
Design Challenge: The main goal was to present the advancing data collection on the Assistive Technology toolkit, which includes four tools addressing key questions: the population's unmet needs for assistive technology, the country’s capacity to meet these needs, the impact of assistive technology on users, and progress by Member States in implementing the World Health Assembly Resolution 78.1. This toolkit helps countries collect data to inform policy, raise awareness, and garner support for assistive technology. Its target audiences include policymakers, researchers, associations, assistive technology users and families, service managers, experts, and development partners.
Research: The research was based on the need to represent the rapid assistive technology assessment (rATA), which is a population-based household survey that collects self-reported information from people regarding their access to assistive technology, measuring the need, demand, and barriers. The tool can be used alone, or incorporated into other surveys and/or, or in national censuses.
Inspiration: The semicircle framing the illustration of assistive technology users serves symbolic and functional purposes. Visually, it unites the figures, suggesting belonging and dynamism with openness. Symbolically, it signifies acceptance, inclusion, and respect for diverse human experiences. Its incomplete form also represents continuity and potential for change, emphasising that inclusion is an ongoing, evolving process open to new perspectives.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2025 in Geneva and is still in the process of finalisation. The design process is made in Spain.
Operation Flow: All PDF documents were evaluated and found to comply with accessibility standards, particularly PDF/Universal Accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, using the PDF Accessibility Checker tool.
