National Maritime Museum

Visibility through colour
An informative and simple access guide was created, allowing disabled visitors to navigate the museum easily. We developed a tailored approach, using hand-sketched symbols on a contrasting coloured background for maximum impact, allowing partially sighted users to get around the space with ease.
