Street Repairs In Glasgow- Accessibility

The first dashboard for dashboard week was based on street repair data in Glasgow, the aim of the dashboard was to help people who may have difficulties navigation existing interfaces.

I started with a brief sketch on what I wanted the dashboard to look like and outlined the intention to import a new data source with some more geographical data based on the individual zones (Like boroughs), which make up Glasgow.  

Advantages of my design:

The colours of my text and the backgrounds are well contrasting, as checked using Coolors.co

The sizing of all the text is a suitable size for those who may be visually impaired.

The extra data set added some context to the density/frequency of the reports.

The captions and titles of the charts give meaningful context to those who may be using a screen reader.

Limitations of my design:

The map functionality did not work as intended, meaning the dashboard was very generalised.

Some of the dynamic titles did not update properly when they were filtered.
