There is no such thing as an Aesthetic-Accessibility Paradox. Finding a middle ground between what is aesthetically pleasing and what is simultaneously usable by everyone is your job as a designer.

THAT’S GOOD DESIGN, people. Articles like this are harmful. Bottom line. https://twitter.com/uxmovement/status/1195035233269227520

Honestly, shit like this is how we put mediocrity out into the world.

1. Learn to apply the principles of your craft.
2. Understand the Gap Instinct.
3. Test alongside damn humans with and without a disability.
4. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION EVERY TIME.

Re: The Gap Instinct. Maj & Min terms can be dangerous, esp here. It forces us to polarize.

>51% is majority, but you must always ask about the comparison #. >99% of THE INTERNET is inaccessible (not incl native apps). So tbh, most can’t use the god damn internet properly.

You can easily look at the # of people that are missing an arm and say “Eh that’s only a minority.”

But you need to look at permanent / temporary / situational scenarios. Your hypothetical 20k just jumped to 2M when you account for arm injury or parents with access to one arm.
