Design in Silence - Graphic Design by Deaf Designers

I have found that there are very few design companies that have team of deaf designers working together as a team or as individuals. However one of example I have heard of where this is not eh case is Red Lizard, who are based in Redditch, a graphic design house that specialises in accessible design.

For me, it is great to see other deaf designers showing their work on the web. It gives them a great opportunity to show how much of their visual creativity really flares out. They will have their own ways to communicate with their clients and able to show their work off brilliantly.

Textimage graphic

I come from a print background and moving from print to web has obvious differences; margins need to be tighter, screen dpi is smaller but the main challenge I discovered was designing with web standard fonts. In print I can use hundreds if not thousands of typefaces, in web I use Verdana, Arial and Georgia. Using the same three fonts day in day out is tiring, there's only so many times you can capitalise Verdana or underscore Arial. Having said that, 2009 is said to be the year of typography in web design, with many new techniques such as Typekit in development.
