Step 5
I started with the existing comic template. I brainstormed story ideas with my recent photos.
I added my own recent images to the comic strip. I created a visual version of the story.
I added alt-text to the images by enable to the screen reader accessibility feature.
I began to add captions to the images to tell the full story!
I completed all the steps and made sure I am not missing anything.
Reflection
1. What is the theme of the work?
The theme of the work is to demonstrate the use of alt-text on a comic which I created about a girl who visits a flower garden in the Bronx.
2. How is that theme particularly expressed through the modality of the week?
I have expressed this comic by fulfilling the requirements on the comic template.
3. Which elements of the work are beautifully/wonderfully/perfectly expressed through the modality?
The physical elements such as images and caption are perfectly layed out within this modality.
4. Which elements are lost or inexpressible through the modality of the week?
The captions are not too long because I am finding a hard time to express a deeper meaning of the photos.
5. Who does this project exclude? Who would not be able to interact with this work? Who is this modality not accessible for?
People who do not have screen-readers cannot access the alt-text of the content.
6. Now that you’ve identified who is excluded, what is one way you could remix this piece to include another population?
I will need to figure out a way to display the alt-text of the content so that users who have the extension can access them.
