Many thanks for your efforts to raise awareness of issues of accessibility for the disabled (HT 1 October, page 37).

Ironically, that issue of the magazine is a good illustration of an accessibility problem for those with poor eyesight. Two pages were printed with coloured images behind the text. This adds visual interest but makes the pages difficult to read. To improve readability, black text should be printed on a white or cream background. Coloured text and, worse still, colour or images behind the text create problems for those whose eyes are not 100%.
