[Libs-Or] Tech-Talk: GRAPHICS – Add Moving GIFs to PPT & Word (and G-Slides & G-Docs)

Wed Oct 14 12:06:50 PDT 2020

I was an early adopter of GIFs in articles and PPTs, but after learning
about the potential harm they can cause for some people with disabilities
(especially when they randomly stumble on them), I stopped. There are some
considerations you can make to make them more accessible, though. I wanted
to be sure to share a resource for making animated images accessible.
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/gel/guidelines/how-to-make-accessible-animated-images>

Here's some more info I gathered about making powerpoints/presentations
<https://brycekozlablog.blogspot.com/2018/01/accessibility-and-conference.html>
more
accessible, including a website that can help make your color choices more
accessible.

Thanks!
