ABSTRACT
This research explores how to better support the accessibility of content design without sacrificing informational value presented through visual storytelling. In revisiting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and looking ahead to version 3.0, we reassess current guidelines toward more accessible content design of multimedia information as part of an ongoing reevaluation of inclusionary practice in communication design.
