AODA-Compliant Design
Annual Reports, Books, Brochures, Print-Ready PDFs – George Brown College
At George Brown College, I regularly design accessible documents to meet AODA and WCAG 2.1 standards. These include annual reports, program brochures, convocation books, and internal campaign materials.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how I used paragraph styles and structure tags to ensure screen readers interpret content properly. Working with existing brand templates, I adapted them to meet AODA guidelines without sacrificing visual hierarchy or design flow.
Adding custom alt text to every image was an important part of the process. This example shows a detailed description written for screen readers — helping visually impaired users fully understand the content and context.
Once everything was tagged and tested, I used Adobe Acrobat Pro to run a full accessibility check. The final document passed all key areas — including logical reading order, alt text, and contrast.

I designed this trifold brochure to communicate key program info in a clear, engaging way. Beyond visuals, my job was to make sure it read well for all users — which meant structuring the reading order, tagging the document properly, and ensuring contrast levels met AODA requirements.

One of several annual reports I’ve helped design and remediate. These large-format PDFs require thoughtful typography, consistent tagging, and accessible layout structure — especially in elements like the Table of Contents, which must be fully navigable via assistive tech.
